New description:
The test
{{{
sage: (out, err, ret) = test_executable(["sage", "--ipython"],
"\n3**33\n")
sage: out.find("5559060566555523") >= 0
True
}}}
fails if people have installed a newer version (0.12?) of ipython which
leaves incompatible files in `~/ipython/`. We might consider setting
`IPYTHONDIR` to `$DOT_SAGE/ipython/` in `sage-env`, but the simplest fix
seems to be to do this right before running the test.
Test this by running `sage --ipython` to create config files in
`~/ipython/`. Then edit `~/ipython/ipy_user_conf.py` to (for example) make
it invalid Python, so it prints an error when you start `sage --ipython`.
Then doctest the file `cmdline.py` before and after applying the patch.
