How to launch Glue from PyCharm in parallel

[Phil Edwards]

Hi,

   Is there a way of launching Glue from a Python program (in PyCharm) without blocking Python from executing the rest of the program?  If I use qglue, it launches Glue fine, but Python doesn't move on to the following line of code until I close Glue.  I tried adding the line %giu qt, but PyCharm gives an "invalid syntax" error.

   Also I want to just launch Glue but without passing it any data, since I want to open a previously saved session, using an updated data file.  qglue seems to require a dataset to be passed to it.  

   So, to conclude, is it possible to:

1. Launch Glue from Python (PyCharm IDE) without stopping Python from continuing execution
2. Launch Glue with no dataset passed to it
3. Automatically have Glue "Open Session" on startup
4. Have "Open Session" automatically open a particular session file that I specify in Python

Thanks

Phil

The magic command should be %gui qt (not %giu qt) - does it them work if you try this?

I think it should work with %gui qt but let me know if not 

1. Launch Glue with no dataset passed to it

In theory running qglue() should work - does it not currently work for you? 

1. Automatically have Glue "Open Session" on startup

See my reply to your other thread - using GlueApplication.restore_session should work. 

1. Have "Open Session" automatically open a particular session file that I specify in Python

So do you mean that you want to make it so that when you open a session from the GUI, the default suggested file is a specific one? I don't think this is possible at the moment.

Cheers,
