Hello,
I am trying to generalize some paraview script and I got this error. Does this mean
that pvpython does not recognize my config file, is it possible at all to make something like this meaning to combine pvpython with some configuration files and so on?

Thank you.

It may work if you copy the PyYAML directory in the Python installed on your system into the Python library in ParaView.
> (System Python installation directory)/Lib/site-packages/yaml
> →
> (ParaView installation directory)/lib/python3.9/site-packages
If possible, it would be better to make the Python version the same as the Python version of ParaView.

Hello,
Thank you for the suggestion, I’ll try to proceed with that.
