Hi everyone!

I'm trying to run mne.viz.plot\_source\_estimates and doing so I run in to  
several errors... The first time I tried to run the function, I got

ValueError: API 'QDate' has already been set to version 1

I've tried all the suggestions mentioned in the MNE python troubleshooting  
page  
\<[http://mne-tools.github.io/stable/advanced\_setup.html?highlight=mayavi](http://mne-tools.github.io/stable/advanced_setup.html?highlight=mayavi)\>,  
but they all result in the same error :

TypeError: Argument given by name ('attribList') and position (3)

Anybody got any ideas on what to do?

Best,  
Karin

This is a conflict problem with Mayavi's dependencies and matplotlib. Can  
you try our updated conda environment?

[http://mne-tools.github.io/dev/install\_mne\_python.html](http://mne-tools.github.io/dev/install_mne_python.html)

These are scheduled to become the default installation instructions once  
0.16 is released.
