Dear Paraview Users / Developers,
I have just started using version 3.98 and I must say I like it a lot.
However, on the binary distribution the number of vtk classes accessible
through python scripting was greatly reduced with respect to the previous
version.
I suspect that because it is now
There's a lot of VTK python modules, and unfortunately they are not all
imported with you import paraview.vtk from ParaView's python console. But,
all the python modules are shipped with ParaView, as far as I know, they
just aren't imported. I wish there was an easy way to import the full set
of
FWIW, I've also found that only importing the VTK modules that one needs
in a given script shaves off some time during the initialization of the
script.

That's true. And I think it makes sense for ParaView to selectively import
only the parts of VTK that it needs to implement paraview.simple and
paraview.servermanager.
I find it annoying that paraview.vtk is not equivalent to the standard vtk
python. If you run a script with pvpython or pvbatch,
Well, at least you can still use GetClassName() to figure out the object.
I'm wondering how much overhead there is to import paraview.vtk -- any
ideas? Also, it's a bit dangerous when running in parallel since that may
encourage people to create their own vtk objects in a manner that they
didn't in
