Failure to start Sharppy from Anaconda terminal

[malcolmmaas]

Describe the bug After creating a sharppy-env in Anaconda and running sharppy via the terminal, everything works fine. After this, however, it fails to open. I'm not sure what the point is after which it fails - maybe closing sharppy, closing anaconda, or restarting my computer.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. I created a new sharppy-env in Anaconda
2. I ran sharppy - it worked
3. This is where I don't remember exactly what I did. I closed sharppy and anaconda, and may have restarted my computer.
4. I opened Anaconda and ran sharppy.
5. I got this error:

   Traceback (most recent call last):

   sys.exit(main())

   self.setCurrentTime(data_time, init=init)
   File "C:\Users\Malcolm\Anaconda3\envs\sharppy-env\lib\site-packages\sharppy\viz\map.py", line 382, in setCurrentTime
   self.clicked.emit(None)
   TypeError: MapWidget.clicked[dict].emit(): argument 1 has unexpected type 'NoneType'

   I have done these steps twice and the same thing has occurred both times.

Expected behavior I expected sharppy to open normally.

Hi! Thanks for putting together a thorough issue report for us. This looks like an issue that occurs when SHARPpy tries to use the older version of PySide instead of PySide2. I would recommend you try to download SHARPpy from conda-forge into its own environment. The latest version from conda-forge should fix this issue.

Thanks, I updated with conda-forge and it seems to work.
