ImportError: Could not import backend for traitsui.

[orlitzky]

With a fresh install of mayavi (git HEAD) using pip:

$ python
Python 3.11.8 (main, Apr  8 2024, 11:45:04) [GCC 13.2.1 20240210] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from mayavi import mlab
>>> mlab.figure(bgcolor=(0, 0, 0), size=(1, 1))

    raise ImportError(msg)
ImportError: Could not import backend for traitsui.  Make sure you
        have a suitable UI toolkit like PyQt/PySide or wxPython
        installed.

I have PyQt5 installed:

>>> from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QWidget
>>> from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QSizePolicy
>>> from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
>>> from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow
>>> from PyQt5.QtGui import QCursor
>>> from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt
>>> from PyQt5.QtCore import QTimer
>>> from PyQt5.QtCore import QObject
>>> from PyQt5.QtCore import QSize
>>> from PyQt5.QtCore import QEvent
>>> 

I don't expect you to guess what's wrong, but if you can give me a hint as to where the "no PyQt5" decision is being made, it would help me debug.

have you fixed it?

No, I gave up and decided to visualize the results using my imagination instead.
