Seb, I didn't even notice that. I tried it again, and this time, there's an object, but the end result is the same.
>>> paraview version 3.14.1, Date: 2012-02-17 from paraview.simple import * >>> servermanager.LoadState("empty.pvsm") >>> GetLayouts() {('ViewLayout1', '2178'): <paraview.servermanager.ViewLayout object at 0x00000000103938D0>, ('ViewLayout1', '275'): <paraview.servermanager.ViewLayout object at 0x0000000010EE2668>} >>> layouts=GetLayouts() >>> print layouts {('ViewLayout1', '2178'): <paraview.servermanager.ViewLayout object at 0x00000000103938D0>, ('ViewLayout1', '275'): <paraview.servermanager.ViewLayout object at 0x0000000010EE2668>} >>> layout=layouts[0] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> KeyError: 0 And the same problem when I do it with a script with the for loop, "TypeError: 'ViewLayout' object does not support indexing". Whether this is or isn't a real issue, I suppose you're talking about the extra layout tab that opens when I load a state? Does this mean that you can't replicate it? I tried it on another machine (it = making an empty state file on that machine and then loading it from the shell) and I got exactly the same behavior, the same extra tab and all.
