Pyqtgraph with anaconda python on MAC gives nib error

Question

I'm trying to use the pyqtgraph with anaconda python on Mac os

Python 2.7.5 |Anaconda 1.6.1 (x86_64)| (default, Jun 28 2013, 22:20:13) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin

I installed pyqtgraph with pip install pyqtgraph, which seemed to work fine. However, if I run any command from the library I get this error:

Qt internal error: qt_menu.nib could not be loaded. The .nib file should be
placed in QtGui.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/  or in the resources
directory of your application bundle.

I found this SO thread, which seems to be related to C++ app. In my case I have no application.app folder so I'm a bit lost.

Answer 1

The solution is to use python.app (or the equivalent pythonw) to run the program, instead of just python. If pyqtgraph installed any commands, you'll need to edit them so that their shebang line calls #!/path/to/anaconda/bin/python.app/Contents/MacOS/python.
