Man, have I had that problem before. What I did, which finally solved it, on Linux, was the following - both at build time and run time:
* printenv | egrep PY. Then, take anything that sets up python and delete it. * setenv PATH path-to-your-python-executable:$PATH (be sure to put your path before the $PATH). * setenv PYTHONPATH path-to-your-python-builds-modules, usually in lib/python-2.6 or somesuch. I think that is correct - my problem build is on a computer that I can't get at this second. Test with: which python Then run ParaView, and run Tools/ Python Shell. Type 'import os', then 'os'. It should tell you where your modules are coming from. I am sure the Pyton gurus on the list could do better, but there are some ideas.

Also, the paraview I got is a compiled binary of 3.14. How do I go about pointing paraview to python2.7. Also, form running the saved trace using python, it looks like it cannot load some of the paraview modules even though I can see them in the paraview directory. Any help?

Note, that is DYLD not LD. You don't need to add the Contents/bin directory to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, and you don't need to add DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to PATH, and you don't need to add PYTHONPATH to PATH. In summary, ParaView uses both pure python modules and c extension modules. The pure python modules are in Contents/Python, and the c extension modules are in Contents/Libraries. Both these paths should be on PYTHONPATH (or append sys.path at the top of your main script). The c extenion modules have dependencies on dynamic libraries which are located in Contents/Libraries, so Contents/Libraries this needs to be in the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
