Use in default workspace

To run LabPype, simply type the command:

python -m labpype.__init__

LabPype will create a folder .labpype in your home directory as the workspace for settings file and downloaded/installed widget sets.

If you don't want the terminal to show up, you can run LabPype with pythonw. For example, on Windows, create a shortcut and type in the following command for target:

pythonw.exe -m labpype.__init__

Use in specified workspace

LabPype allows you to have multiple instances of LabPype that each has its own workspace. This way, each instance can have its own installed widget sets and program settings.

For example, if you want to run LabPype in a folder called cloning, create a pyw file in the folder and add the following:

import os
import labpype
App = labpype.App(path=os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)))
App.Start()

Then run the pyw file. You will see several files and folders are created in this folder.
