Installation conflict between VTK and ParaView
When installing ParaView with Python enabled in the default directory, it contains a lot of python related files in :
lib64/python3.7/site-packages/vtkmodules
which includes, for example : vtkCommonDataModel.py
These files are conflicting with files generated by VTK installation.
There are two possible fixes imo :
- Adding the possibility to build ParaView with an external VTK. This has been requested but it seems to be quite hard to do.
- Adding a suffix to all these files
@ben.boeckel: this is not related to the current changes to the module system, but if you have an idea how to fix this that would be great.
