I have been having some very strange import problems in Mayavi2.
Basically the namespace packages in enthought did not import properly. I
finally narrowed them down to the fact that I had installed matplotlib
using setuptools, and that in the beginning of my easy_install.pth file I
had /home/varoquau/dev/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib/lib, in which there is
an enthought directory. This breaks the setuptools namespace packages
magic. The short term solution is to move this line at the end of the
easy_install.pth. I am however worried: this is a major weakness of
setuptools namespace packages, and it will happen to other people.
I have no solution (sorry) but this problem needs to be addressed.
Cheers,
