Mac ox 10.11.6 install issue

[anbai106]

Hellow, I installed pysurfer on My mac, but I found it quite trivial, the first time I installed the mayavi with conda, but it degenerated my other packages like pandas, and then runpip install pysurfer, so it works but not perfectly, after I update pandas, because I have another project which require higher version of pandas, pysurfer crashed my anaconda(really cranshed everything), so I reinstalled anaconda and reinstall pysurfer, this time I install mayavi with pip install mayavi, and then I find my qt version is not 4, but 5, so I degenerated it to be 4, and also, the vtk version of 6.3.0 does not work, i degenerated it to be 5.10.1, so right now I can run the example code from your example gallery, http://pysurfer.github.io/examples/plot_label.html, it gaves me warning like this:

/Users/junhao.wen/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mayavi/tools/camera.py:288: FutureWarning: elementwise comparison failed; returning scalar instead, but in the future will perform elementwise comparison if focalpoint is not None and not focalpoint == 'auto':

And also, the image does not display, but all with gray color like this:

In ipython, if I do gui qt first, and i run the code, it will gave me errors like

ValueError: API 'QDate' has already been set to version 1

I really like pysurfer, but honestly, it is really difficult to install it on Mac.

the environment variables are included in .zshrc export QT_API=pyqt export ETS_TOOLKIT=qt4

Can you help me???

I am having this issue as well.

@mb3152 can you be a bit more specific? The initial issue seems to discuss a few separate problems.

These are really mayavi packaging issues, see e.g.:
