This happened after my latest round of selfupdate and upgrade outdated. Previously ipython worked with no problems, but now if I start it up, I get an error message about readline, and something about libedit coming from Leopard (I am running Lion). It recommends that I install readline, which is already installed from macports. After the error message, I get an ipython prompt but the prompt itself is screwed up. The regular python interpreter has no problems.
See below for my terminal output when I tried the various commands. jfcaron@jfcaron-macbook:~$ ipython /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/utils/rlineimpl.py:96: RuntimeWarning: Leopard libedit detected - readline will not be well behaved including some crashes on tab completion, and incorrect history navigation.
