| Summary | 0000969: Deb package "paraviewopenfoam3120" is missing some important VTK-Python libraries | ||||
| Description | Note: I might be a bit too late for the Deb packages, but the same problem occurs if we erase the "$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/build" folder for a custom build of ParaView 3.12.0. The following library files are missing (at least) from the Deb package (haven't checked the RPMs), which are needed for some of the Python features that ParaView 3.12.0 can provide: vtkChartsPython.so vtkCommonPython.so vtkFilteringPython.so vtkGenericFilteringPython.so vtkGeovisPython.so vtkGraphicsPython.so vtkHybridPython.so vtkImagingPython.so vtkInfovisPython.so vtkIOPython.so vtkParallelPython.so vtkPVClientServerCorePython.so vtkPVCommonPython.so vtkPVServerImplementationPython.so vtkPVServerManagerPython.so vtkPVVTKExtensionsPython.so vtkRenderingPython.so vtkViewsPython.so vtkVisItAVTAlgorithmsPython.so vtkVisItDatabasesPython.so vtkVolumeRenderingPython.so vtkWidgetsPython.so To fix this, before generating the Deb package (or before removing the build folder), the following command should be executed: cp $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/build/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER/paraview-$ParaView_VERSION/bin/vtk*Python.so $ParaView_DIR/lib/paraview-$ParaView_MAJOR/ | ||||

A hack to fix this is available here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-paraview/118294-annoying-issue-automatic-rescale-data-range-parafoam-paraview-3-12-a.html#post446490 post #17 |

This issue can be closed. It has been resolved with the release of OpenFOAM 2.3.0 Deb packages, which provide ParaView 4.1.0 and which doesn't have this problem. |

Greetings, Sorry, I was so focused backed then on the solution, that I completely forgot to properly document the problem that triggered the report in the first place. The problem for which the solution is provided on this bug report, is exemplified here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-installation/119569-paraview-python-install-problem.html#post435152 To better document this bug report, here are the steps and expected result - To reproduce, start ParaView 3.12.0 on a deb package installation of OpenFOAM 2.2 (any minor version), and then start up the Python shell within ParaView. Then run this command and the following output will appear: >>> from paraview.simple import * Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module> from paraview.simple import * File "/home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.0/build/linuxGcc/paraview-3.12.0/Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping/site-packages/paraview/simple.py", line 40, in <module> import servermanager File "/home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.0/build/linuxGcc/paraview-3.12.0/Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping/site-packages/paraview/servermanager.py", line 43, in <module> import paraview, re, os, os.path, new, sys, vtk File "/home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.0/build/linuxGcc/paraview-3.12.0/Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping/site-packages/paraview/vtk/__init__.py", line 1, in <module> from vtkCommonPython import * ImportError: No module named vtkCommonPython >>> And as reported on the previous comment, this issue is no longer reproducible with the latest ParaView 4.1.0 that is provided in the Deb and RPM packages.
