Summary0014922: installing paraview locally has issues with paraview.simple
DescriptionWhen building pv locally with Python enabled and then installing to a separate directory, when running pvpython or pvbatch from the installed directory it can't import paraview.simple.

For a shared library build I get the following error:
>>> from paraview.simple import *
Error: Could not import vtkCommonComputationalGeometryPython
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/media/ssddrive/BUILDS/ParaView/debug-developer-install/lib/paraview-4.1/site-packages/paraview/simple.py", line 39, in <module>
    import servermanager
  File "/media/ssddrive/BUILDS/ParaView/debug-developer-install/lib/paraview-4.1/site-packages/paraview/servermanager.py", line 48, in <module>
    import paraview, re, os, os.path, new, sys, atexit, vtk
  File "/media/ssddrive/BUILDS/ParaView/debug-developer-install/lib/paraview-4.1/site-packages/paraview/vtk/__init__.py", line 7, in <module>
    from vtkCommonCorePython import *
ImportError: No module named vtkCommonCorePython



For a static library build I get the following error:
>>> from paraview.simple import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named paraview.simple


With the static build, if I copy the <installdir>/lib/paraview-4.1/site-packages to <installdir>/lib/ then I can import paraview.simple from pvpython and pvbatch.

 Andy,

Is this a static build? What can you tell about your build environment? Can you attach your CMakeCache.txt.

 I tried this out for both a static and shared build on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine. I attached the CMakeCache.txt from each. I had the same issue with the static build on a Cray.

 Doing a fresh build of ParaView's latest with a share library build I was able to import paraview.simple properly in pvpython. For a fresh static build I still had the same problem.

FYI: The version of ParaView I was using was 1dc9843728232bb330b5425ac9a598db9fbd343d

 Ok. I'll test out the static build next.

    BUG 0014922: Fix python module locating logic for static builds.
    
    vtkProcessModuleInitializePython didn't handle the case that ParaView
    was built as a static build. For static builds, the Python module
    locating logic is not same as the one for shared builds since shared
    builds typically use shared-forwarding executables. This commit expands
    that logic.
