Ah...no. Alas, you cannot directly use "CreateWriter" in the script
for the Programmable Filter. You'll need to use "save data" after
applying the filter. Alternatively, you can use mpi4py module to
gather the sum result to the root node and then on the root node,
create vtkDelimitedTextWriter directly and save the result out. I can
send you sample script, if you need one.

p.s. This email was waiting in draft state for a while for this
sample script, didn't get around to it. Figured I'd at least send this
response and work on the sample script if needed :).
