support mayavi on https://cocalc.com #6681

Closed williamstein closed 3 months ago

williamstein commented 1 year ago

You can do

pip install mayavi

and install works. However, in the terminal it crashes on startup complaining it doesn't have a way to do output, unless you are in X11, in which case it works. It also crashes in the current jupyter notebook clients by default.

Doing 

jupyter nbextension install --py mayavi --user

installs an extension for Jupyter classic (?), and evidently works in some context, though not on cocalc yet (?).

It doesn't seem like the mayavi project cares about jupyterlab support at all -- https://github.com/enthought/mayavi/issues/733

Mayavi is really much more a non-webapp. Closing this.
