spyder 2.2 fails to run on ubuntu13.04 (Qt4.10)

[jean-pat]

hello,

I can't run spyder 2.2 installed with easy_install, under ubuntu 13.04 (32bits). From a terminal, spyder failed to run with the message:

....
 from IPython.external.qt import QtCore, QtGui
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/external/qt.py", line 53, in <module>
    raise ImportError("IPython requires PyQt4 >= 4.7, found %s"%QtCore.PYQT_VERSION_STR)
ImportError: IPython requires PyQt4 >= 4.7, found 4.10

Thanks for your advices.

Hi, Jean-Patrick.

The failure you are seeing is actually related to IPython thinking that PyQt4 is at an incompatible version. This was a known IPython issue that should be fixed in the latest IPython releases:

https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/3006

Are you able to upgrade IPython? If not, rolling back PyQt to 4.8 or 4.9 would also be an option.

Cheers,

Jed

Hi,

to upgrade ipython try:

sudo easy_install -U ipython

Perhaps you need also:
sudo easy_install -U pyzmq

Hi Jean-Patrick, 

Another workable solution for ubuntu is to install the .deb packages from Debian sid. 

 python-spyderlib http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/python-spyderlib/download

and 

 spyder http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/spyder/download

Worked nicely for me on both ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04. 

Cheers,

Hi Sylvain,

Thanks for the info.

By the way, the spyder icon is not correctly displayed in the dash. Once spyder run, its icon in the dash remains grey.
