I'm opening this issue since this has been a persistent issue with at least three recent installations of SHARPpy on three different Mac computers. This impacts only users who try to install the program from source and therefore need to install the additional PySide dependency. Installation of Pyside straight from Anaconda (as recommended in the README) causes loading of the GUI to fail and therefore inhibits use of the program. Reverting to an older version of PySide may be a solution to this problem, although I haven't tested this solution on any problematic installation yet. PySide version 1.1.2 is currently being used on my Mac laptop (OS X Yosemite 10.10.5) and I haven't had any problems with SHARPpy (dev or master) yet, so perhaps installation of this version instead will rectify this issue.
To revert to this version (which may not be the most recent version), I recommend inputting this command on the command line:
$ conda install pyside=1.1.2
Below is the output I got:
The following packages will be downloaded:
package | build
---------------------------|-----------------
qt-4.7.4 | 0 27.9 MB
conda-4.2.12 | py27_0 376 KB
------------------------------------------------------------
Total: 28.3 MB
The following packages will be UPDATED:
conda: 4.2.11-py27_0 --> 4.2.12-py27_0
The following packages will be DOWNGRADED due to dependency conflicts:
qt: 4.8.5-3 --> 4.7.4-0
Proceed ([y]/n)?
Type in y and hit enter. Try rerunning SHARPpy using "python full_gui.py".
