Don't raise error when trying to create another Qt app for Qt eventloop - #1071
Conversation
- This was making the `%matplotlib qt` fail in Spyder. - It was also generating a long traceback when trying to set another interactive backend (e.g. tk).
Use prints instead because these errors are not displayed to users but contain valuable information for them.

This avoids making that function run beyond the point where a certain message is printed.

@shaperilio,, this should be ready for review. @blink1073, I think the failure in the ipyparallel test suite is unrelated to this. Also, please wait until I can run the Spyder tests with this PR before merging it (I'll give you a ping when I have the chance to do that). |

@ccordoba12, fyi I added a commit to fix merge conflicts picked up from #1073 |
|
Thanks but your merge reverted some of the changes I made that fix the mentioned Spyder bug and improve other things. So, I need to drop it and do a merge that preserves what I did before. |

Ugh, sorry about that. |

No worries, I understand you wanted to check if everything was green here too after PR #1073. |

@blink1073, I still don't understand the failure in IPyparallel, but the rest seems ok now. |

Should we also remove Qt4 from ipython? |
|
Yeah, I think that's a good idea. PyQt4 is really outdated and it doesn't have wheels for the most recent Python versions. |
See ipython/ipykernel#1071 Note that it's still there if coming from `matplotlib`
This is a follow-up PR that fixes the
%matplotlib qtmagic in Spyder.Avoid raising
RuntimeError('Kernel already running a Qt event loop.')inmake_qt_app_for_kernel. This was the cause of the mentioned failure and it also generated an unnecessary traceback when trying to set another backend:Instead, replace that raise with a return.
Remove the Qt4 eventloop because it's ancient and not supported anymore.
Restore
loop_qt5function (and make it equal toloop_qt) because it's been public API for years and we're using it in Spyder-kernels.Avoid raising errors when calling
set_qt_api_env_from_guibecause they are not displayed to clients and instead use prints. Now you get this, for instance:Do some cleanup after PR ENH: add
%guisupport for Qt6 #1054.
