I am trying to load some data into paraview and then save the data in a legacy.vtk format using the paraview.simple module. I have created a symbolic link in my anaconda environment’s site packages to the “paraview” site package in the Paraview 5.8 directory, and get the following error when attempting "from paraview.simple import \* ":

_Failed to load vtkRemotingCore: No module named paraview.modules.vtkRemotingClientServerStream_

This module exists in the path mentioned, so I am not sure what the issue is. Any suggestions?
