Problem with Leo+iPython

[William Strømsvold]

I'm trying to get Leo to run from the iPython console (python(x,y), console2). I've done as described in the manual, and the printout of the macro embleo is:

import IPython.Shell
IPython.Shell.hijack_qt4()
_ip.magic(r"cd E:\leo-editor\_"[:-1])
_ip.magic("run launchLeo.py")

The output from this command is:

 <function dummy_mainloop at 0x037A28F0>
E:\leo-editor
reading settings in E:\leo-editor\leo\config\leoSettings.leo
using menus from: leoSettings.leo
reading settings in E:\workspace\.leo\myLeoSettings.leo
reading E:\workspace\.leo\.leoRecentFiles.txt

I've tried both IPython.Shell.hijack_qt4() and IPython.Shell.hijack_tk(), but nothing seems to work.. Nothing happens except for the output from the console..

Any tips? I have windows XP, so I suspect that there maybe is a problem with escape character \ in paths or something... I've also tried to start leo directly from the console but only this happens:

In [14]: %run "launchLeo.py --ipython"
ERROR: File `launchLeo.py --ipython.py` not found.

It adds the .py suffix to the --ipython argument, which I don't understand why it does...

Hmm, I've got things torn apart from putting down laminate flooring in
the computer room, so this is from memory.

I'm on XP and run things via the sourceforge project "Console". One
thing that you might be missing is that it works best if you start Leo
from console and then let it start and attach to a Ipython instance in
that console. Console is great for automating this as it lets you
store start-up cmd-lines and starting directories as a title tab-type
that you can then just invoke via "New Tab => <tab_type>.

I don't have this machine set up quite right, but I've a "tab-type"
with a command:
cmd /k E:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\Leo-4.7-beta-1\launchLeo.py

just put in your path and add the "-- ipython switch.

Thinking back I did have problems using run from ipython.

I think launching an "embedded" leo from ipython is only working on tk
now. I could get it working in qt as well, but too busy right now.

Starting Leo from console worked perfectly, thanks to the tips from tfer. No need to run in embedded mode, from my point of view..

Just created a new tab with the following "shell":

cmd.exe /k C:\Python26\python.exe E:\leo-editor\launchLeo.py --ipython

Thanks, Tom, in helping William.  Leo is getting busy enough that such help is becoming essential.
