Python User Interface Error was created by JT

I'm trying to use the python interface to create a new GUI using PyQt6 but I can't seem to figure out how to load the ini file without an error inifile(-ini_ failed.

Edit: repo was just a scratch repo so I deleted it.

One way to get the ini file into the python module for both local testing and as the DISPLAY entry is:

Code:

		for i in range(len(sys.argv)):
			if sys.argv[i].endswith('.ini'):
				inifile = linuxcnc.ini(sys.argv[i])

I did figure it out, I was using the docs and the sys.argv is not correct if you are running the GUI directly in LinuxCNC.

Code:

/usr/bin/emc3
-ini
/home/john/linuxcnc/configs/emc/emc.ini

So the docs say to use inifile = linuxcnc.ini(sys.argv[1]) but that's not correct. Qtvcp has a better approach to getting the ini file location.
