i get this error on my machine when trying to use the “Find Data” functionality.

"Warning: In /build/paraview-SVeOv3/paraview-5.7.0/ParaViewCore/ClientServerCore/Core/vtkPythonSelector.cxx, line 56

vtkPythonSelector (0x55f2f1af8bf0): Failed to import ‘paraview.python_selector’

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘paraview’
"
The following appears in the command window i launched paraview:

"( 52.647s) [paraview ] vtkPythonSelector.cxx:56 WARN| vtkPythonSelector (0x55f2f1af8bf0): Failed to import ‘paraview.python_selector’

System information: Ubuntu 20.10, Paraview 5.7.0, Qt 5.14.2, 64 bits. I loaded Paraview and Python as apt packages.

i can provide more details if necessary. T

Then this is an issue for the ubuntu packagers, not a ParaView issue.

Thanks, I’ll put in a bug report if i can find out where to do it.
