Looking for some more tips on running the latest code. I have all the
prerequisite component apps necessary to run IbPY and the Qt GUI.
I've checked out the code, unpacked it, and run a setup.py install.
From this point perusing the files, both the original folder and the
ones installed to python2.5-->libs-->-site-packages-->profit, it isn't
immediately clear which is the main GUI launcher. Is there an
overarching core GUI which the various features run off of (current
and future)? I attempted to open the README file using DEV-C++ IDE
and notepad but it is empty.

TIA,

Vince Fulco

Delete the "python2.5-->libs-->-site-packages-->profit" directory.
The setup.py script isn't finished, and it hasn't installed the code
correctly on your system.

Instead, run your checkout, open a prompt, cd to your checkout
directory, then cd into the profit directory, export pyuic=pyuic4.bat
and then run "make -i". You'll need make from cygwin, and you'll
probably want to do your building from a bash prompt.

Once it's built, run "python ./bin/profit_workbench" from your prompt
while in the checkout directory.
