[Paraview] programmable filter in a python script

[joseph insley]

Thanks for the pointers.  

Another naive follow up question..

The script of my programmable filter starts with:
input = inputs[0] 

This works fine when the script is defined inline, but when I import it from an external file, inputs is not defined.  How do I get around this?

Thanks,
joe
