There's a bug in 3.8.0 in OpenDataFile() which will be fixed in 3.8.1 (already fixed in release branch). Use the attached script as a sample. It has a newer fixed version of OpenDataFile().
The second sample you used was incorrect since you are mixing VTK-python scripting with ParaView's python scripting.
