On Fedora 31, I tried to install mayavi with pip
pip install mayavi
However, the following error occurs
Building wheel for mayavi (setup.py) ... error

Doing python -c "import vtk" doesn't raise an error. Same with PyQt5.
Running
import vtk
vtk.VTK_SOURCE_VERSION
indicates that I'm using vtk version 9.0.1.
$PYTHONPATH is empty.
Running as sudo doesn't change the error. I also tried python3 -m pip install mayavi with the same result.
How can I install mayavi with pip?
The issue is the version of vtk that you are using. I had the same issue and the follwing worked for me:
pip3 install vtk==8.1.2
Note that this version of vtk is not available for version 3.8 and above of Python, so I'm not sure what the workaround is if you're using 3.8. I was using 3.7.
Then, try installing mayavi again.
pip3 install mayavi
