To test something I have a very simple startup.py file in my .qgis/python folder:

import qgis
qgis.utils.iface.actionShowPythonDialog().trigger()

print "Welcome chump"

Python console launches fine, Welcome chump consistently prints out twice. Why is this?

  • Could you open an issue report for this with details about the affected QGIS version? The next release is around the corner and only fixed bugs are good bugs :) qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/bugreporting.html

  • @MatthiasKuhn yes will do, I'll just have to wait until I'm back at the office to get full info on version number etc. It appears then that this is a genuine bug?

  • It does not sound like proper behavior to me and deserves being investigated

I’m facing the same problem. I have not found a real solution, but I found out, that in content of the build in variable __name__ changes. It is “qgis.user” one time and “startup” the other. So you can work around the problem by:

import qgis
if __name__=="qgis.user":
    qgis.utils.iface.actionShowPythonDialog().trigger()
    print "Welcome chump"
