    ...module hangs on some Red Hat systems. (This test is only run when regrtest.py is invoked with -u audio as argument.) It has been reported that untarring the source tarball using Solaris tar can fail. This is caused by some pathnames being too long for Solaris tar to handle. Using GNU tar should allow for untarring on Solaris. Some tests may unexpectedly fail on certain platforms. Here are failures that we know (something) about and intend to fix in a following patch release. These bugs may ...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...module, categorizing it, and building the GUI accordingly. This code is also used in MayaVi's persistence mechanism, which can save most VTK objects to disk by inspecting them at runtime. The use of introspection to write data-driven modules such as these avoided substantial amounts of manual coding, and makes MayaVi self-extending as additional VTK objects are defined. Since Python is a scripting language, it was the natural choice for an extension language for MayaVi. As a result, MayaVi is...
