<h1>SciPy.in 2011 Sprint Schedule</h1>

<h2>Day 5, Thursday, December 8th, 2011 </h2>

<h2>Topics</h3>

<ol>

<li>Changing Mayavi/TVTK to use VTK's "new" pipeline.</li>

	<ul>

		<li>Mayavi currently uses VTK's old pipeline structure and this is to be

		deprecated in future VTK releases.  This is important for the future

		of Mayavi.</li>

		<li>See <a href="http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Tutorials/New_Pipeline">here</a></li>

		<li>This change will be invasive and will require a fair bit of work.  You

		will need to know VTK fairly well and also Traits and Mayavi.

		</li>

		<li>Documentation on Traits, Mayavi and Envisage are available from <a href="http://github.enthought.com/">here</a></li>

	</ul>

	<br /><br />

<li>Improving PyQt/PySide support.</li>

	<ul>

		<li>Mayavi's support for PyQt/Pyside is not tested and doesn't work

		properly.  We will try to fix this if time permits.  Requires

		knowledge of TraitsUI and PyQt/PySide.</li>

	</ul>

</ol>
