Another idea here -- since your simulation is Python-based, you may want to consider just building a Python-wrapped build of VTK and importing the VTK writers directly into your simulation code. Then you'd have access to all of the readers/writers in VTK. Going through the blog posts at https://blog.kitware.com/improved-vtk-numpy-integration/ is a good example of how VTK and numpy can easily work together.
