Resolve "QWebEngine complains about QCoreApplication when started from BECGuiClientMixin (e.g BEC IPython client)"
requested to merge 224-qwebengine-complains-about-qcoreapplication-when-started-from-becguiclientmixin-e-g-bec-ipython into main
Description
BEC widgets client code imports "server" module to be able to start it, when calling show() (member of BECGuiClientMixin).
However the server module imports widgets - in particular the QWebEngine. This one monkeys with QApplication
somehow (see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-80912 ), whereas BEC Widgets code already communicates
with BEC servers and already has a QCoreApplication running.
The fix is easy: we should not import server in client. Instead of importing it just to have the path to
server.py right, let's make an entry point for the BEC GUI server.
Closes #224 (closed)
