I use VisIt ( https://wci.llnl.gov/simulation/computer-codes/visit) which includes own Python distribution, that is same version as my system Python - 2.7.5 64-bit. It also exposes it's API through own Python module, and includes PySide and vtk as additional modules.
The program includes regular Python console, which is uncomfortable compared to IPython, so I thought to look for clues. One easy way seemed using `visitrc` Python script which loads at program startup and is empty by default. I put this code inside:
======================================== import sys sys.path = sys.path + ['C:\Python27\DLLs', 'C:\Python27\lib\site-packages'] import IPython IPython.start_ipython(argv=[]) ========================================
and I was happy to see IPython prompt when I run the program. I tried further to load qtconsole instead terminal console: IPython.start_ipython(argv=['qtconsole'])
but that raised error, same as trying to pass any argument to start_ipython() function.
Not knowing what's the problem, I thought to ask for advise if there is something else I could try.
Here is output that's printed if I try to launch qtconsole as explained:
========================================
Error in sys.excepthook:

VisIt 2.7.3 includes a custom Python 2.7.5 distribution that was
compiled with Visual Studio 2010. You can not simply load C extension
modules that were compiled with Visual Studio 2008 for the official
Python 2.7 distribution. It is best to rebuild pyzmq with msvc10 against
the Python distribution included with VisIt. VisIt ships with the
required Python C header files and libraries AFAICT.

Thanks for the explanation.
I have Visual Studio 2013, but even if I had 2010, I wouldn't know how to build against VisIt Python distribution as there in no Python interpreter I can call from command line.
