Yes, in your $HOME/.bashrc file that your shell loads at startup time, you can write export QT_API="pyside" And this will ensure that you always have this variable set as part of your 'environment'. The concept of 'environment' is a unix-specific idea of a set of variables and other parameters visible to any program; you can actually read and write the enviroment in python by importing 'os' and using the os.environ variable: $ export SOMEVAR="Hello matplotlib" $ ipython --no-banner In [1]: import os In [2]: os.environ['SOMEVAR'] Out[2]: 'Hello matplotlib' Cheers, f ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
