Ipython Emacs integration

Question

Has anyone managed to get Emacs 23, python-mode.el and ipython.el working together recently?

my .emacs looks like this:

(add-to-list \'load-path \"~/.ema         


        

Answer 1

I had the same error invoking IPython from Emacs23. I fixed it by replacing all instances of -colors with --colors in ipython.el

Answer 2

ipython.el is known to be out of date. None of the core IPython developers know emacs lisp. Someone is now working to fix it - if you have time, please test his branch and report whether it works.

Answer 3

Here's another reason someone may be getting this error:

iPython 0.12 exits with an error if given a -color arg.

What fixed it for me was replacing

(setq py-python-command-args '("-colors" "Linux"))

in my .emacs with

(setq py-python-command-args '("--colors=linux"))

That is, make sure that the args passed to iPython were valid. If not, iPython exits with error and we fall back to the regular python interpreter.
