Publish a compatible anaconda environment file

I generated a fresh new anaconda environment including matplotlib 3.1.1 and pyqt 5.9.2 updated_environment.yml.txt but when I try to execute ipython RollDieDynamic.py 6000 1 i receive the message QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it. (Notice that no problems arise when I execute python RollDieDynamic.py 6000 1, i.e. the python interpreter directly.

In order to correctly execute the command
ipython RollDieDynamic.py 6000 1 I need to set up a new environment with matplotlib 2.2.2 and pyqt 5.6 working_environment.yml.txt

It is advisable that a working environment is published along the code, so as to guarantee that all the examples will work without any problems.

Hi Corado,

This is a known issue that was recently introduced between Matplotlib/IPython. For the moment, you can run the code with

ipython -i RollDieDynamic.py 6000 1

This will put IPython into interactive mode and run the script, then you can exit IPython interactive mode after you close the app's window.

I will go back through the book and check all the versions we used and create a .yml file along with instructions on how to use it to set up a new environment.

Best, Paul

Corado, Would you post the text of your .yml file here too? The links in your post above are not working. Thanks! Paul

Hi Paul, the current yml file I use is attached. Notice, however, that I have just started to use the examples of the book and I think that my environment will include more libraries.

Best wishes

Corrado

P.S. notice that the command python -i RollDieDynamic.py 6000 1 (su just the python interpreter) works fine.
