EvalCubicSpline cannot be imported from visit

[SiqiLiOcean]

Describe the bug

I use VisIt to create some animations of my model data. I wrote some python functions to make the work easier. I found that most of the visit CLI commands can be imported. For example:
from visit import View3DAttributes

However, the interpolation functions are not. When I tried to imported 'EvalCubicSpline' or 'EvalLinear', the error shows that they are not in visit module.

Does anyone know how to solve it? Thanks.

Look like that function is in visit_utils...
