[Paraview] How to test if Python is working

[pat marion]

Hi Mike,

After you open the python shell, try these commands:

help(servermanager)
help(servermanager.ProxyManager)

To test a specific proxy, try something like:

proxy = servermanager.ProxyManager().NewProxy("sources",
"SphereSource") #groupname, proxyname
dir(proxy)
print proxy

If you decide you want to get down and dirty, all the magic happens in
ParaView3/Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping/paraview/servermanager.py
