Hi, I have to say I'm really happy to finally see a 64 bit package for Paraview. Thanks for this!
I've just installed it and I have one little thing to point out: the default location for installation is in Program Files (x86) instead of Program Files. The installed paraview.exe is actually a 64-bit process, but your installer package runs as a 32-bit process. My vague recollection is that the default location is chosen according to the process type of the installer package unless you hardwire it in somehow.

To: "David Fuentes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: paraview@paraview.org Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 It is magic :-) Actually, it is a common python design pattern. Most of the classes in the servermanager module are wrappers around low-level classes provided by the paraview server manager C++ library. In python, you can define a method (__getattr__) that gets called whenever a symbol cannot be resolved. This allows python classes to delegate functionality to other classes. In your case, the reader object has a member called SMProxy that it is delegating to. If you do dir(reader.SMProxy) you can the list of all available functions. Property objects do the same thing. They delegate to a SMProperty member. -berk On Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 12:16 PM, David Fuentes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > working through one of the examples on the wiki > > http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Python_Scripting#Animating > > > reader = sources.ExodusIIReader(".../can.ex2") > . > . > . > reader.UpdatePipelineInformation() > > However > > dir(reader) > > > does Not return a method by the name of "UpdatePipelineInformation" > However, the call still works?? > > How are you able to call a method that is not returned by dir()? > Are there any python debuggers available that will let you step > into the function reader.UpdatePipelineInformation() > to see what is actually being called? > > > > > > > thank you, > df > _______________________________________________ > ParaView mailing list > ParaView@paraview.org > http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview > > ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:40:48 -0400 From: "Berk Geveci" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Paraview] ANNOUNCE: ParaView 3.4.0 released To: "Dan Goldstein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: ParaView Mailing List <paraview@paraview.org> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 It is not a format change.
