I've run into an issue... First, I've been trying (with little success yet) of 'packaging' a Canopy python file into an .exe. I'm trying to make a 'simple' way to run our program(s) for our client.
With those issues, I thought I'd make a .cmd file with 'python myprog.py' in it. Well, it fires up my code without having the Canopy environment there to confuse my end-users, BUT, it appears that the PyLab backend isn't Qt4, as the screen appears quite a bit different, and the actual program doesn't quite run the same :(
Is there some way to tell Canopy that when I start a program using 'python xxx.py' that it should be using the Qt4 package? I've looked at the Preferences for Canopy, and both the Notebook tab and the Python tab have the PyLab backend set to Interactive (Qt4)? If I can find that and get my panels to look the same as in the Canopy environment, I'll see if the rest of the program straightens out too.
Steve, if you wish you can hard-code this into your program, but as a quick solution, precede your python call with:
set ETS_TOOLKIT=qt4
