I am using the 5.9.1 headless egl archive and when i try to use the official demo code for the paraview remote rendering server, the demo does not run because the included python is missing the cryptography module. It seems like I will have to compile paraview to include this, but I was wondering if this is the expected behavior?

Where does this pv\_server.py come from ?

You’ll have to bring it in a virtual-env on the side by adding some command line argument and extending the original script to mimic what is done [here](https://github.com/Kitware/visualizer/blob/master/server/pvw-visualizer.py#L83-L92).
We are working on it to remove such dependency in the future for ParaView 5.10 as we don’t want to bring `cryptography` as a dependency.
FYI @Scott_Wittenburg @ben.boeckel

I wanted to get `cryptography` into 5.9.1, but it was hairier than I’d have liked and it never happened. It is done for 5.10 now though.

I am getting this problem. How to solve it? In Windows?
The release is:ParaView 5.9.1-MPI-Windows-Python3.8-msvc2017-64bit
I have in another computer working with:ParaView 5.9.0-RC2-Windows-Python3.8-msvc2017-64bit
Where I can get this last version to test?

Use the nightly binaries or an older version of ParaView…

Just download 5.9.0 instead of 5.9.1 from the download page…
