 My build of py26-mayavi fails. The log file
 "var/macports/logs/..._py26-mayavi/main.log" contains the following:
 "ImportError: No module named vtk"

 I came across a similar error mentioned in ticket:21994. Following the
 instructions there, I did a 'port clean' on vtk5, and rebuilt it with
 python26:
 port install vtk5 +python26 +x11.

 Then installing py26-mayavi worked fine.

Comment:

 You found the solution, which is to install vtk5 with the +python26
 variant. Note that the x11 variant is added by default and does not need
 to be specified. But we have no way currently to depend on a variant of a
 port. See #126.
