[Paraview] Writing IntegrateAttributes to CSV using Python

Oh, are you running the script through the python shell in the
ParaView client? In that case, sorry, but you don't need the Connect()
:). I assumed you were using pvpython.

Are you sure you built your paraview after updating? I just tried the
CVS and I indeed have the AttributeDataToTableFilter.
