Installing Mayavi[app] from PyPi

Dear list,

I'm trying to install Mayavi from PyPi but I'm running into a problem.

I can't understand if it's a miscofiguration from my side or something else:

Re: Installing Mayavi[app] from PyPi

Hi there,

when the release on PiPy is scheduled?

I'm running Mayavi svn on one of my computer, so If I had I will switch to it.

Regards,
Michele.

It has been fixed in Mayavi 3.3.2 (not 3.3.3), which is the
latest Mayavi release.

As the Mayavi source tarball is too large to be uploaded
to PyPI, it hosted on an Enthought server, but there is
a download link on PyPI, which points to it.

Which means pip should automatically get 3.3.2 if you do pip install right?

Re: Installing Mayavi[app] from PyPi

Hi all,

it seems that pip 0.7.1 was not working.

I upgraded pip to the latest version (0.7.2) and now it finds the
proper latest release 3.3.2 and the installation concludes
successfully.

Thanks,
Michele.

Try hitting the "p" key, for "pick".
