Setting the PYTHONPATH is not necessary to use pvpython. pvpython sets up the necessary system paths within the Python executable so you don't have to. > Saved and exit > > #Created the symbolic links > > sudo ln -s /opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/ > /usr/bin/paraview > > sudo ln -s /opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/ > /usr/lib/paraview > > #Restarted the computer and then executed: > > ./paraview This command means "launch the paraview executable in my current working directory". To use the paraview executable in your PATH, remove the ./ and run paraview This will make sure the paraview found on your PATH is executed. > And paraview opens and works fine. > > # Execute the script I mentioned in previous emails: > > ./<the name of the script> > > And the following error message appears: > > Error: Could not import vtkCommonComputationalGeometry > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "./<name of script>", line 42, in <module> > from paraview.simple import * > File > "/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paraview/simple.py", > line 43, in <module> > from paraview import servermanager > File > "/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paraview/servermanager.py", > line 53, in <module> > from paraview import vtk > File > "/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paraview/vtk/__init__.py", > line 7, in <module> > from paraview.vtk.vtkCommonCore import * > File > "/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paraview/vtk/vtkCommonCore.py", > line 9, in <module> > from vtkCommonCorePython import * > ImportError: No module named vtkCommonCorePython > > Then I tried running it by using: > > ./pvpython <name of script> > > And the error message is the following: > > bash: ./pvpython: No such file or directory Again, when you run ./pvpython, it is looking for a pvpython executable in the present working directory.

I don't see the same when I download ParaView 5.3 on Ubuntu 16.04. I wonder if you are pulling in something by setting PYTHONPATH? Try not setting PYTHONPATH (it isn't needed to use pvpython) and see if that resolves the error.
