Paraview python scripting has the concept of active objects and active views. At the python console, type 'help(Show)' and you'll see that it takes optional object and view arguments. If the arguments are not specified it uses the 'active' object and view. When you create a view (CreateRenderView()) or create an object (Sphere()) they become the active objects. The active object concept is explained on the python scripting wiki page.
