I tried it once but the python script was rather awful. I used the 
"Tools>Start Trace" function to record my activities in Praview as a python 
script.

Just another thought, you could use mayavi [1]. I think it could be a quick 
alternative to Paraview for this kind of things. It works the same way as 
matplotlib so you don't have to deal with the cryptic paraview 
names/variables. I used it once for some other stuff and I was really happy 
with it.

Cheers
Klaus
