Glue doesn't start

[nickcorona]

Installed with pip. Self-explanatory. I run glue command in windows powershell and it does nothing.

[specmicp]

Can you provide the output of the following command:

glue-deps list

Also can you provide the version of your operating system ?

[astrofrog]

And to add to what @specmicp said, could you try starting glue by first starting ipython then typing:

from glue import qglue
qglue()

?

[nickcorona]

I ran this command pip install glueviz[all,qt] to install but it didn't seem to install the dependencies. I got this error:

  WARNING: glueviz 0.15.2 does not provide the extra 'all'
  WARNING: glueviz 0.15.2 does not provide the extra 'qt'

I can confirm this problem with a fresh virtualenv (qtpy gets correctly installed for me though).

Manually downloading the package and looking through the setup.cfg shows that the extra_requires are not defined. It looks like they should be defined now (but I didn't knew about that setup.cfg syntax, very nice !)

[specmicp]

@nickcorona sorry, I almost forgot, for now, installing PyQt5 should solve the problem:

pip install PyQt5 qtpy

@nickcorona sorry, I almost forgot, for now, installing PyQt5 should solve the problem:

pip install PyQt5 qtpy

Thanks!

[mini]conda apparently gets that now, with conda install glueviz[qt] installing qt-5.9.7 as qt, but pip does not and still installs a qtpy without working QtWidgets (pip also does not know about a generic qt or qtpy package). So maybe this is more a pip issue.

[astrofrog]

pip install glue-core[qt] does include PyQt5 - though maybe we should make it so that pip install glueviz[qt] works too? (see the extra-requires in glue-core: https://github.com/glue-viz/glue/blob/main/setup.cfg#L93)

[dhomeier]

So pip install glueviz[qt] automatically includes glue-core as a dependency, but does not "forward" the [qt] selection to the latter? Yes, that certainly has potential for confusion, easiest would be to ensure that glue-core is installed with the same settings.
