Mayavi mlab error on MacOS Sequoia, Miniconda env: KeyError: 'pyface.toolkits' #1343
Description
I continually get an error when trying to set up my usual miniconda environment, on Mac OS 15.4 sequoia. Here is the .yml file used to define the environment:
name: myenv
channels:
- defaults
- conda-forge
dependencies:
- python
- vtk
- pyqt
- mayavi
- matplotlib
- pandas
- astropy
- scipy
- numpy
- dynesty
- fabric
- cartopy
- julian
- invoke
- pdoc3
- pexpect
- pytz
- spiceypy
- sysrsync
- tqdm
- h5py
- scikit-image
- scikit-learn
- jupyterlab
- statsmodels
- pip
- pip:
- twill
- idl_colorbars
I've tried this specifying pyqt=4, pyqt=5, not specifying python, specifying python=3.13, nothing works. It constantly produces this trace:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is from an example where I specified the Python version, and where I tried inserting code suggested by a reply to this similar issue. Nothing has worked. This environment has worked fine on a Linux machine for multiple years, but I am unable to verify the exact package versions on that machine right now because it's broken (this Mac is a temporary machine).
I've spent hours trying to troubleshoot this, redone the environment repeatedly, and I can't figure out what the problem is. Is this a bug, or have I missed something?
Thanks in advance
