Hi!

Congratulations for the nice work! This looks already very good. Here are a 
few feedbacks and glitches I could identify. System: Mac Os 10.7 Lion.

Interestingly, I needed to start several times the program until it finally 
displayed something. During the first three attempts, it just stalled and 
was reported such by the activity monitor.

Then it just started normally showing the familiar environment, at this 
level there is nothing in the internal console.

If I start a regular python interpreter though, things start to look more 
problematic:
Everything seems to start fine... until I do a *import matplotlib.pylab*which 
generates a series of error message:
>>> import matplotlib.pylab as pp

Not too surprisingly given the series of errors pylab could cause, starting 
an ipython console does not work either. 
First the spyder internal console returns:
>>> Exception in thread Thread-2:

While the ipython kernel basically immediately dies after spitting out a 
few lines:

ImportError: Spyder requires PySide or PyQt to be installed
and the ipython console never appears. 

Hope this helps...
