This is my cmake command: cmake -GNinja ../ -DPARAVIEW_BUILD_QT_GUI=OFF -DPARAVIEW_USE_MPI=ON -DPARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON=ON -DPARAVIEW_ENABLE_WEB=ON -DPARAVIEW_BUILD_ALL_MODULES=OFF -DPARAVIEW_USE_MPI_SSEND=ON -DPARAVIEW_USE_ICE_T=ON -DPARAVIEW_USE_QTHELP=OFF -DENABLE_osmesa:BOOL=ON -DENABLE_qt5:BOOL=OFF -DENABLE_ffmpeg:BOOL=ON`
After building I get this error:
`Error: Cannot import vtkPVAnimation’
I require vtkPVAnimation because I am using GetAnimationScene() and UpdateAnimationUsingDataTimeSteps() functions, after using LegacyVTKReader to load vtk data from openFoam simulation.
To check if the files have been built, I did a diff between the vtkmodules in the python2.7 built official binary and the vtkmodules which I have built. I found that my build has these many files missing. Here . represents the vtkmodules drectory of the official binaries

And many other files which I have explicitly switched off in my build as I do not require them (like vtk extensions.)
I have been playing around with many build options, which I thought was related to this, but to no use.
Could you please let me know which build setting I have to enable so that vtkPVAnimation is built in this setting. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your reply. I tried cloning the master branch which has already been merged with the changes, but I got the same error. So I cloned paraview version 5.5.2 and tried building it. This is my cmake command:
sudo cmake -GNinja …/ -DPARAVIEW_BUILD_QT_GUI=OFF -DPARAVIEW_USE_MPI=ON -DPARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON=ON -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/python3.5/config-3.5m-x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.5.so -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/python3.5 -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3.5 -DPARAVIEW_ENABLE_WEB=ON -DPARAVIEW_USE_MPI_SSEND=ON -DPARAVIEW_USE_QTHELP=OFF
But I get a new error now:

Could you please help me in figuring this out, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I meant I would like to contribute by sharing this binary. So that it might help someone looking for ParaView binaries built on python3. What is the best way in which I can do that?
This binary has been built on your system and is only compatible with your system, so sharing it would not be possible. We work around that in our release by using the paraview-superbuild.
In any case, upgrading to python3 in the release is on our to-do list, so it should be available at some point in the future.
Thanks for the willingness to share. If you are interested to contribute to ParaView, please, keep using ParaView, report any issue you may encounter and even try to fix issues that you care about.
I’m not even sure ParaView Visualizer is fully working with Python 3. We did some work in that direction but I bet we are still missing a couple of cases. For example, I know that we still have some xrange inside our server side protocols.py.
