no python in ParaView 5.6.0

Dear All,

I have the problem, that the python console, programmable filter is not working in ParaView-5.6.0-MPI-Windows-msvc2015-64bit, ParaView-5.6.0-Windows-msvc2015-64bit, that I have downloaded from the ParaView website.
Switching on the Python Shell, I get the following message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in

if (prop.GetInformationOnly() and propName != “TimestepValues” )
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘GetInformationOnly’

Do you know what might be the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Found the solution now. The ParaView settings file (more about it here: https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_Settings_Files) got somehow corrupted. After removing the file called ParaView5.8.0.ini (yes, the pyhon shell problem occured also with the newer version of PV) file, the python shell works again.
