The 'paraview' directory is the module. Python treats directories that contain a __init__.py file as modules. So you want your python path to contain "/Applications/ParaView 3.10.1.app/Contents/Python", and drop the /paraview ending.
But, I recommend you use pvpython instead of python. The paraview python modules may not be compatible with your system python. Using pvpython also ensures that all paths are set correctly, so you don't need to set PYTHONPATH. You can find pvpython at: /Applications/ParaView\ 3.10.1.app/Contents/bin/pvpython If you want to try system python, you need to: export PYTHONPATH=/Applications/ParaView\ 3.10.1.app/Contents/Python:/Applications/ParaView\ 3.10.1.app/Contents/Libraries export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Applications/ParaView\ 3.10.1.app/Contents/Libraries I'm not sure it will work for you though. On my system, python aborts when the modules are loaded.
