Patrick, I tried it before, and it failed. I just tried it - and it worked! I needed your hint - I was pointing to the install, rather than the build.
Thank you!

This seems to work well for me. Can you give it a try?

There isn't a vtkCommonCorePython.py in the tree, but is a ..../lib/paraview-4.1/site-packages/vtk/vtkCommonCorePython.so. How does this get linked in?
