I have the really odd problem when it comes to plotting Bloch spheres using QuTip. Plotting state vectors works perfectly fine e.g.
from qutip import *
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
b = Bloch()
s = Qobj([[1],[0]])
b.add_states(s)
b.show()
But when I try to plot points on the Bloch sphere using QuTiP
from qutip import *
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
b = Bloch()
pnt = [1,1,1]
b.add_points(pnt)
b.show()
I get the following error message
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have tried using different matplotlib backends like TkAgg without any success. I don't know how to fix this problem.
