I’m getting errors trying when loading pvpython and trying to use

`from paraview.simple import *`

The message is  
`ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'paraview'`

I also get the warming

```auto

hwloc/linux: Ignoring PCI device with non-16bit domain.
Pass --enable-32bits-pci-domain to configure to support such devices
(warning: it would break the library ABI, don't enable unless really needed).
