I'm running the IPython 2.0b1 code so that I can use the native QtInProcessKernelManager for embedding an IPython shell inside a Qt app. Following the example in embedded_qtconsole.py I've got everything up and running, but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to set the IPython profile that the kernel uses. Unfortunately the doc for the 2.0 release is pretty sparse, but understandable since it's not released yet, and digging into the source hasn't been much help either.
In the old 'unofficial' way of doing it in IPython 1.12/13 you set it via the following:
app = IPKernelApp.instance()
app.initialize(['--profile={0}'.format(__PROFILE_NAME__)])
However I've tried every combination of passing varying arguments to
kernel_manager = QtInProcessKernelManager()
kernel_manager.start_kernel()
With no luck. I'm sure I'm just missing something simple, so hopefully it'll be a quick fix.
