Hello everyone, I’m doing my thesis with OpenFOAM and I have to use Python-Paraview to plot some results of the simulation I’m doing. As I am pretty new with Python-Paraview coupling I’m not able to solve this problem by myself. Actually I am trying to run the pv_post_processing.py file it was created by other students before me in the terminal (I have a MacOS laptop), and this is the error I obtain:
from paraview.simple import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/Applications/ParaView-5.10.1.app/Contents/Python/paraview/init.py”, line 257, in
from .modules import vtkRemotingCore

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in

import _paraview_modules_static
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘_paraview_modules_static’
To make a point regarding that, I am running this thing in a venv with python in it, and it seems that it looks for the libraries in the homebrew directory where python is also installed. Other than that I also specified the python path as follows:
export PYTHONPATH=/Applications/ParaView-5.10.1.app/Contents/Python
Has someone any suggestions regarding this? I am really struggling to find a solution and if someone has any idea it would be really helpful. (Python version=3.9.12, ParaView version=5.10.1)
