Python3.8上安装vtk和mayavi踩坑： Building wheel for mayavi (setup.py) ...
用python3.7时，mayavi貌似很容易安装。
现在彩python3.8，发现安装时有下面的问题：
。。。。
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 45: ordinal not in range(128)
CCompilerOpt._cache_write[796] : write cache to path -> /tmp/pip-install-w8u16lpt/mayavi_956e846f839b4f7d95f69b7965bc3a4d/build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.8/ccompiler_opt_cache_ext.py
----------------------------------------
ERROR: Failed building wheel for mayavi
上网找了一下，说是要手动指定vtk和mayavi的版本，才能在python3.8的环境下安装成功。在Python3.7的环境下安装的vtk==8.1.2。Python3.9我没有试过，不知道情况。
说下我在Python3.8上安装mayavi的情况我摘录如下，
I'm seeing a stall as well during pip install of Mayavi 4.7.3 with VTK >= 9.0.2 (macOS 10.15, Python 3.6). Might be related to #1054, where the workaround was to install VTK 8.1.2. #1057 also reports a similar hang with VTK 9.0.3 (#1057 (comment)), whereas VTK 9.0.1 works, and this PR mentions issues with VTK 9.0.2. The workaround for me was also to pip install VTK 9.0.1 and Mayavi 4.7.3.

也就是说，应该用下面的版本安装，
pip install vtk==9.0.1
pip install mayavi==4.7.3我用上面这两条指令，在PYTHON3.8上安装成功。
