[Mne_analysis] visualizations and python versions

[Mainak Jas]

Hi Tero,

Currently mayavi does not work in python 3 as far as I know. You can use
virtual environments to get the best of both worlds :)

Have a look here if you are using Anaconda:
http://conda.pydata.org/docs/examples/create.html

Best,
Mainak
