I had a look at the trame tutorials, and they all work, except the paraview example:  
[https://kitware.github.io/trame/docs/tutorial-paraview.html](https://kitware.github.io/trame/docs/tutorial-paraview.html)  
I get this error and I do not know what to do with it:  
`$ pvpython 05_paraview/StateLoader.py --venv .pvenv --data ./data/pv-state.pvsm`

I guess there is some paraview functionality missing? I’ve installed paraview superbuild from github:

```auto
$ paraview --version
paraview version 5.10.1-799-gb5dd20f80e

```

in the environment directory , there are references to enable\_module:

I just tried the following and it is working for me.

1. Download ParaView 5.10.1 from [https://www.paraview.org/download/](https://www.paraview.org/download/)
2. Run the following command lines

```bash
python3.9 -m venv pv_venv
source ./pv_venv/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install trame
git clone https://github.com/Kitware/trame.git
/Applications/ParaView-5.10.1.app/Contents/bin/pvpython ./trame/examples/ParaView/StateViewer/app.py --venv ./pv_venv --data /.../diskout.pvsm

```

The following also worked

```bash
export PV_VENV=$PWD/pv_venv
/Applications/ParaView-5.10.1.app/Contents/bin/pvpython ./trame/examples/ParaView/StateViewer/app.py --data /.../diskout.pvsm

```

Thanks, using the paraview 5.10.1 package works. Actually, this example also works with my superbuild version.  
However, the paraview example from the trame tutorial is not working for either  
With the precompiled paraview, I get this:

```auto
~/Codes/paraview/ParaView-5.10.1-MPI-Linux-Python3.9-x86_64/bin/pvpython 05_paraview/StateLoader.py --venv ./pv_venv --data ./data/pv-state.pvsm                                              
Traceback (most recent call last):

I guess you found an API change that was not updated in the tutorial repo… 😉

I’ll fix the tutorial file… thx

</div>

Ok the reason was that I was using a local `venv` import as it was not available from ParaView at the time of the tutorial. To make the tutorial works you need to be inside that directory.

Still updating the [tutorial code](https://github.com/Kitware/trame-tutorial/commit/72af5312476c9ce9c4f44c307f3dc4c724b246dd) to import the now available venv helper directly from ParaView…

I have no luck so far – am I missing something?

Looks like you’re using Python 3.10. Python 3.9 is required since ParaView binaries are built with Python 3.9.
