Not currently, I am afraid. The connect-to-live functionality is currently not exposed to Python and hence not scriptable or accessible via Python API alone. > I also have not found any command line options that would allow me to > connect to a certain Catalyst port, did I miss something here? Correct, they don't exist either. Feel free to add a feature request for the case or put together a merge-request to add support for this. > And finally if none of the above works, would a custom plug-in that is auto > loaded allow me to perform this small piece of magic? Or any other ways of > doing this? Yes, that may be possible. Follow the code path starting with pqCatalystConnectReaction::connect()[1]. That will tell you how ParaView connects to insitu. You can mimic parts of that in your plugin's auto-start method.
