"About spyder" and "Report issue ..." output errors

[spyder-bot]

When trying to open the "About spyder" or "Report issue ..." windows the following error appears in the internal console instead:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/spyderlib/spyder.py", line 1720, in about
versions = get_versions()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/spyderlib/init.py", line 66, in get_versions
from IPython.external import qt
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/external/qt.py", line 46, in
prepare_pyqt4()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/external/qt.py", line 20, in prepare_pyqt4
sip.setapi('QString', 2)
ValueError: API 'QString' has already been set to version 1

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Selecting "Help" > "About spyder ..." or "Help" > "Report issue"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

In both cases a window should pop up, but instead only an error is outputted What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Spyderlib is version 2.3.1 (installed via pip). OS is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Please provide any additional information below

. Only just upgraded from 2.1.x which didn't have these issues

Thanks for reporting. What's your IPython version?

What if you add a ValueError exception in line 67 of spyderlib/init.py? Like this

65 try:
66 from IPython.external import qt
67 except (ImportError, ValueError):
68 pass

That should fix the error (I hope :-)
