Add new PV_PYTHONPATH to take precedence over PYTHONPATH environment variable
I propose having a new environmental variable named PV_PYTHONPATH
to point to a directory of packages for ParaView to use should take precedence over a PYTHONPATH
variable.
The PYTHONPATH
variable is often set by external Python package managers like Anaconda and can contain unneeded paths which I have found often leads to importing undesired versions of packages from ParaView. Having the option to use a designated PV_PYTHONPATH
would allow users to control exactly what paths for which we want ParaView to search for packages.
