IPython on Leopard

Submitted by Jeet Sukumaran on Sat, 10/04/2008 - 02:20

 

IPython is an incredible Python shell. It really has to be experienced to be appreciated, but the autocompletion alone makes it worth installing. Unfortunately, the ugly business of non-standard readline in OS X makes the out-of-the-box installation not quite as nice as it could be. Fortunately, the fix is easy, and is described here.

In brief: 

$ sudo easy_install http://www.jaraco.com/ASP/eggs/setuptools-0.6c8_svn15fix.egg
$ sudo easy_install readline
