I have had some trouble getting ipython's qtconsole working inside spyder(I know it is experimental, so I am exploring your code a bit)

I see where you check for the Ipython version .12 and add the IPython frontend option to the menu

 # IPython frontend action

if is_module_installed('IPython', '0.12'):

ipf_action = create_action(self, _("New IPython frontend..."),

icon="ipython.png",

triggered=self.new_ipython_frontend)

self.interact_menu_actions += [None, ipf_action]

Where is the code that does a similar thing for the IPython Kernel, I think it has something to do with the following...but I don't understand why you are checking for the deathrow package.

try:

    # Test if IPython v0.11+ is installed

    from IPython import deathrow #analysis:ignore

    if os.environ.get('QT_API', 'pyqt') == 'pyqt':

        # If PyQt is the selected GUI toolkit (at this stage, only the

        # bootstrap script has eventually set this option),

        # switch to PyQt API #2 by simply importing the IPython qt module

        os.environ['QT_API'] = 'pyqt'

        from IPython.external import qt #analysis:ignore

except ImportError:

    pass

 (also which script calls >>ipython kernel and connects the frontend to it? )

I now see that

is just to setup the gui(qt versions and whatnot), nothing to do with
the kernel...so yeah, where is that?

I found the checks I was looking for here

http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/source/browse/spyderlib/plugins/externalconsole.py

FYI, your code also works with the .13dev version if you change the
checks in this file to look for .13 also.
