Hi all,  
I just build ParaView from master and  
FiltersPython was not built even if

VTK\_MODULE\_ENABLE\_VTK\_FiltersPython:INTERNAL=DEFAULT

I did not see an option in ParaView to enable that.

I had to  
cmake -DVTK\_MODULE\_ENABLE\_VTK\_FiltersPython:INTERNAL=YES .

to enable it.

Is this right? How do you know what DEFAULT means?

Thanks,  
Dan
