I've been trying to install mayavi package. But I get the following Error Code:

In an older question (setup.py egg_info error code 3221225477) I found out that this "error means a bug in or an incompatibility between some of my installed extension modules". But I made sure, that all my extensions are installed only in per-user and not system-wide directory.

I also updated all packages to the latest version.

EDIT:

• I installed Python 3.7 (previously it was 3.8) but the error persists.
• I tried it with a Windows Subsystem for Linux but still got the same error
• I finally solved it by using conda with Python 3.7
