Hello, I've downloaded on my macbook pro running os 10.6.4 the disk image spyder-2.2.1.dmg and installed Spyder, after having installed Python2.7.5, Qt4.7.4, and PyQt4.10, which run correctly together. Launching Spyder results in the error "Please check Spyder installation requirements : PyQt4 4.4+ (or Pyside1.1.1+) is required" and the log console messages :

Has someone alaready met this problems, and if so, are there explanations and perhaps workarounds ? Having downloaded the Spyder-2.2.3 source, it works fine, either in the bootstrap mode, or after installing it, and I would be quite happy with these way of running Spyder, but I would also find nice to launch Spyder as a mac application. Many thanks for those who have developed this nice and efficient application. Jean-Philippe Caniparoli -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spyder" group.
