[IPython-dev] more on embedding Qt/IPythonWidget

[Piotr Zolnierczuk]

I got a tip  from Raymond Bosman (back in February) that I thought
went posted to this mailing list, so I assumed it was non-issue
anymore.


Here it is:
========================================================

Hi Piotr,

I came across the same problem that no prompt was available in the
IPython Qt Widget.
The solution is to add:

km.start_channels()

The example code becomes:


from IPython.frontend.qt.console.ipython_widget import IPythonWidget
from IPython.lib import guisupport

from IPython.frontend.qt.kernelmanager import QtKernelManager

def main():
   app = guisupport.get_app_qt4()

   km = QtKernelManager()
   km.start_kernel()
   km.start_channels()
   control = IPythonWidget()
   control.gui_completion = True
   control.kernel_manager = km
   control.show()

   guisupport.start_event_loop_qt4(app)


# Application entry point.
if __name__ == '__main__':
   main()

===========================

Cheers

Piotr
