Oh, so "I suggest you compile VTK from source, with python wrapping 
enabled and use that directly" wasn't any criticism of ubuntu's package 
system?

I'm not good enough at understanding the whole difference between vtk 
and paraview, but in any case (you already wrote an explanation) I can 
now do some basic things by saving a script from inside of paraview and 
running/modifying it from the terminal... This is ok for me, at this 
very initial stage... When I learn more, I'll always ask again.
