Animating a mayavi points3d plot

Just change to:

    for (x, y, z) in zip(xs, ys, zs):
        print('Updating scene...')
        plt.mlab_source.set(x=x, y=y, z=z)
        yield

you don’t even need the f.scene.render(), according to documentation mlab_source.set guarantees the refresh.

Also since shape of your data doesn’t change you don’t need to use mlab_source.reset.

I also tested and works fine.
