Description Yang Zhang 2009-02-21 05:56:33 UTC

After emerging sci-visualization/mayavi on "~x86", the "mayavi2" command failed to start. The error message indicates that the "traitsgui, or traits, or traitsbackendwx" not installed. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just "emerge mayavi" on "~x86" system. Then start Mayavi in command line by "mayavi2" command, you can see the bug and the error message.
Actual Results:  
The Mayavi GUI does not appear and an error message indicating missing "traitsbackends" is poped out.

Expected Results:  
Mayavi runs

The ebuild actually installed "dev-python/traits", "dev-python/traitsgui", "x11-libs/wxGTK" and "dev-python/wxpython", but it did not install "dev-python/traitsbackendwx". After "emerge traitsbackendwx", it works.

I guess it may be better to have some USE flags in mayavi-3.1.0 ebuild for the graphical backend, as there are two backends avaliable: "dev-python/traitsbackendwx" and "dev-python/traitsbackendqt".

Hi,

Thanks for the report. I fixed traitgui, as ChangeLog says:

  traitsgui-3.0.3.ebuild:
  Added dev-python/traitsbackendwx dependency when neither wxwindows nor qt4
  flag is set, closing bug #259785
