[SciPy-User] checklist script error

[Christopher Burns]

Hey Kevin,

Setuptools can be installed from pypi:

  http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/0.6c8

Mayavi is more of a challenge due to it's dependencies.  You have two
choices here:

1) The Easy Way:  Installing one of the all-in-one distributions like
EPD or pythonxy.  These will install all the dependencies (and then
sum) in a new python installation.

  http://www.enthought.com/products/epd.php
  http://www.pythonxy.com/

2) The Hard Way:  Installing mayavi and it's dependencies yourself.

Download mayavi from pypi:
  http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Mayavi/3.3.2

Mayavi depends on VTK and wxPython, there are links for these under
the Prerequisites section on the
pypi page.  For wxPython, there is a dmg installer in their downloads page.

It's worth a simple check to see if you have it installed already.  If
you do, this command will print out a version number:
    python -c "import wx; print wx.__version__"

There is no binary for VTK, so you need to download the source
(tarball or zip) and build it using CMake.  This can go easy or hard
depending on your comfort level with building C code.  There are
compilation instructions in the VTK Readme.html.
