I just found out that I needed to modify my PYTHONPATH to include /usr/lib/paraview.
I do not know much about python application packaging, but I suppose some links are missing from standard python directories to the /usr/lib/paraview libraries.

I hope it is fixed in 3.10.1-8

For Ubuntu Oneiric the fixed package can be installed from private ppa:
ppa:gladky-anton/paraview
