Just a precision (I just got caught by that), to install mayavi2, the
application, and not just the 3d visualization library that can be used eg in
ipython, you need to do:

easy_install "Mayavi[ui]"

ie the Mayavi project, with the optional ui component. In addition, you
need to choose a toolkit. You can do this with the following command:

easy_install "Traits[ui,wx]"

Finally, under Linux, the above commands will install by default the
packages to your /usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages. If like me you believe
this is owned by the package manager and you would like to install to 
/usr/local/lib/python2.x/site-packages, just use the follwing switch:

easy_install --prefix "Mayavi[ui]"
