Dear Developers:  
Can I program in Catalyst Adaptor python code to control some actions in ParaView? Because I want to implement some controlling in the live visualization, which will be transmitted into my CAVE VR system in my research plan. If I can implement voice control, that will be good! My hydrodynamic engine code is developed using FORTRAN language.  
Thanks  
Li Jian

This sounds doable with a plugin, but not with a catalyst adaptor.
