""" Import Qt in a manner suitable for an IPython kernel.
This is the import used for the `gui=qt` or `matplotlib=qt` initialization.
Import Priority:
if Qt has been imported anywhere else:
use that
if matplotlib has been imported and doesn't support v2 (<= 1.0.1):
use PyQt4 @v1
Next, ask QT_API env variable
if QT_API not set:
ask matplotlib via rcParams['backend.qt4']
if it said PyQt:
use PyQt4 @v1
elif it said PySide:
use PySide
else: (matplotlib said nothing)
# this is the default path - nobody told us anything
try:
PyQt @v1
except:
fallback on PySide
else:
use what QT_API says
