[Python-apps-team] Bug#551004: mayavi: should this pacakge be removed in favour of mayavi2?

[Sandro Tosi]

Package: mayavi
Severity: serious

Hello,
should mayavi be removed and be superseeded by mayavi2? Do these packages fulfil
the same function, and mayavi2 is the new version of mayavi?

It seems the author is the same, only that mayavi2 is developed under the
Enthought unbrella.

Please let us know asap: if in a couple of weeks I won't hear anything, I'll
file the RM bug against mayavi.

Thanks,
Sandro
