Error when run in the external console

[Gertwin]

I try to run my program in the external console, but it seems to use
the api setting (version 1) from spyder.
I am using the external console because it will run in its own
process.
With the internal console I expect this error.
Outside spyder it runs OK.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/gertwin/work/pythoncad/PythonCAD/pythoncad_qt.py", line
5, in <module>
sip.setapi('QString', 2)
ValueError: API 'QString' has already been set to version 1

Is there a way to work around this problem?

Thanks,
Gertwin

That is a bit tricky indeed. Actually the external console has its own
mechanism for providing code instropection remotely: that is a
notifying server communicating with a monitor (all of it being
initialized in the local sitecustomize script). The monitor is running
in a separate thread (Thread module) whereas the server is running in
a QThread... (because we need to emit/connect a SIGNAL inside of it)
that's why PyQt4 is imported before you do in your own program.

Currently there is no workaround for this particular issue.
Getting rid of PyQt4 in the sitecustomize script means losing the
ability to send SIGNALs from the notifying server... I'll have to take
a look at it to see if I can do without these signals.

Thanks for your answer.

I just tried with version 1.1.0rc2 and now it works.
