Hi,

I am trying to export an animated sequence of geometry via the extractor but I get the following error ?

I am using Ubuntu 18.04

```auto
/home/nyue/systems/ParaView/ParaView-5.9.1-MPI-Linux-Python3.8-64bit/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pandas/compat/ __init__.py:120: UserWarning: Could not import the lzma module. Your installed Python is incomplete. Attempting to use lzma compression will result in a RuntimeError.
  warnings.warn(msg)

```

I have chosen not to use compression in the VTM extractor so I am unsure if the above warning is something I need to be concern with ?

Cheers

For the most part, the warning can be ignored.
