my spider install is broken

[jean-pat]

Dear all,
After upgrading spyder with:

sudo easy_install -U spyder

I can't start spyder no more. From a terminal, I have:

:~$ spyder
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/spyder", line 5, in <module>
    pkg_resources.run_script('spyder==2.1.1', 'spyder')
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/distribute-0.6.15-py2.6.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 467, in run_script

    from spyderlib import spyder
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/spyder-2.1.1-py2.6.egg/spyderlib/spyder.py", line 35, in <module>
    requirements.check_qt()

    wng2 = check_version("PySide", "PySide", "__version__", "1.0")
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/spyder-2.1.1-py2.6.egg/spyderlib/requirements.py", line 20, in check_version
    actual_str = getattr(module, version_attr)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__version__'

It seems to be a pyside/pyQT stuff.How to get back a sane install?

Thank you.

Hi Jean,

By any chance do you have some old version of Pyside in your system? If that's the case, please uninstall it and I think the problem will be solved.

Cheers,
Carlos

Hi Carlos,
Unfortunately, I meet an other error when I try to remove pyside:

sudo easy_install -m pyside

Thank you, I finally achieve to remove pyside.
Spyder is running fine.

I'm glad you did Jean! I didn't know how to help you because
easy_install is not one of my strong points.

Cheers,
Carlos

That's a bug with `easy_install`, but the real cause is that there is no link to PySide download page from PyPy. Try to install PySide manually - http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/PySide_Binaries_Windows

[anatoly techtonik]

Oops. Sorry, you are not on Windows. I think it is better to be reported to PySide mailing list.

[anatoly techtonik]

But I think installing PySide with `easy_install` in Linux is not recommended. It is better to use binaries from http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/PySide_Binaries_Linux If there are no binaries, I usually compile PySide from source using scripts from https://github.com/PySide/BuildScripts

Thank you for your advices,
I am afraid that I mixed things installed with apt-get (pyside) and things installed with easy_install (spyder).
I 'll try to take care of that.
