I made available another experimental spkg of Mayavi2 as part of ETS-3.1.1 in trac ticket #4881 waiting for a positive review. And I made a paraview-3.4.0.spkg (linux only for now). I have it working on Fedora 9 and 10, and Ubuntu-8.10. See my other message in this thread. I will not do a visit package, because of the dependencies: visit wants special versions of vtk, Qt, etcetera. What I miss in paraview is equivalent of the mlab module from mayavi2, see screenshots: http://picasaweb.google.com/j.spies88/ScreenshotsMlabMayavi210# and the manual: http://code.enthought.com/projects/mayavi/docs/development/html/mayavi/mlab.html [...] What I like in paraview is the scalability: running pvservers on sage|geom|boxen.math is a challenge! > > Going the other way, "import visit" already works in a vanilla Python shell: > > https://email.ornl.gov/mailman/htdig/visit-users/2008-May/000234.html > > I've contacted a ParaView developer who says they're currently redoing > Python integration and would be interested in doing what it takes to get > "import paraview" working. > If you set your PYTHONPATH appropriately you already can do this. > Anyway, thanks for any interest, comments, and ideas! > Cheers, Jaap > Sincerely, > Pat LeSmithe > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
