Brenton,
It's good to know that those other solutions work. Unfortunately, I'm just
sitting down at my Windows 7 computer, and I can't reproduce your problem.
I'm also using the Anaconda Python distribution, which might have different
behavior than your installation method.
However, you're in luck, because there are many, many ways to get IPython
to do what you want. (In fact, anything the Python interpreter does,
IPython does better.) All the possible options, though, can make things a
little tricky... Here's a couple of examples:
C:\> ipython -i filename.py
That will start IPython and automatically load the Python file "filename".
That way anything you define in "filename" will be available in the new
IPython session. Alternatively, you can use the IPython "%run" magic from
inside an IPython session:
In [1]: %run filename.py
That has the same effect as the first example.
As an alternative, IPython notebooks (
http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/stable/notebook/notebook.html) are a very
nice way to interactively work with some data while also retaining all of
the analysis code in a script-like manner. You can have your plots
displayed in the webpage by typing the following in one of the cells:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
You can install this using pip:
C:\> pip install ipython[all]
I'm sorry I couldn't help you with your original problem, but I hope these
suggestions help.
