[IPython-User] lib/guisupport.is_event_running_qt4 lying?

[MinRK]

The *frontend* runs Qt, so until you do something like `%gui qt` or `%pylab
qt`,
then it should not return True (even `PySide in sys.modules` should be
False).

For example:

$> ipython qtconsole

No eventloop enabled, should be false:


In [1]: from IPython.lib import guisupport


In [2]: guisupport.is_event_loop_running_qt4()

Out[2]: False


Enable eventloop:


In [3]: %gui qt


Qt is running, should be True:


In [4]: guisupport.is_event_loop_running_qt4()

Out[4]: True


Which all seems correct to me.
