How to run a paraview Python code using pvbatch or pv python

问题

This question was migrated from Computational Science Stack Exchange because it can be answered on Stack Overflow. Migrated 4 years ago.

I am trying to run this Python file using pvpython [filename].py

from paraview.simple import *
servermanager.Connect()
#sphere = Sphere();
#Show();

import os
i = 0
SubDir = [" "]*30
# Set the directory you want to start from
rootDir = '/var/www/html/php/emd/job552e23fe74d102/VTK'
for dirName, subdirList, fileList in os.walk(rootDir):
    if dirName == rootDir + '/others':
       continue
    if dirName == rootDir:
       continue
    SubDir.append(dirName)
    i=i+1
    print('Found directory: %s' % dirName)
    for fname in fileList:
        print('\t%s' % fname)
        j=1
        j= LegacyVTKReader( FileNames=[dirName + '/' + fname] )

and I am getting this error

File "paraview.py", line 2, in <module>
    from paraview.simple import *
File "/var/www/html/php/emd/job552e23fe74d102/VTK/paraview.py", line 2, in <module>
    from paraview.simple import *
ImportError: No module named simple

Is there anywhere I have gone wrong. Please help me, I am a beginner in this.

This happens to me if I do not add the directory that holds the ParaView Libraries to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH system variable. I have ParaView 4.0.1 installed as an example and I append the path to the variable as follows in Ubuntu:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/sgeadmin/ParaView-4.0.1-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-4.0
