Hi Andrea,

your question about the python documentation, it is kind of tricky.
For the python API, basically it's the merge of those components:
- src/Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping/paraview/simple.py
- src/Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping/paraview/servermanager.py
- src/ParaViewCore/ServerImplementation/Resources/*.xml
+ some custom proxy which was the case for exporter.

If we could figure out a way to generate something that would be
great. But so far, it is not the case.

Although, from the XML we generate the following documentation (See Appendix):
