This is somewhat the intended behaviour. The iPython documentation
(file:///usr/share/doc/ipython/manual/html/config/index.html) describes
two ways of handling configuration:
* Old: .ipython/ipythonrc, .ipython/ipythonrc-PROFILENAME
* New: .ipython/ipy_user_conf.py,
I've now transfered the .ipython directory from another computer to
mine. Everything now works as it should. So the case of the faulty
ipython install will then remain forever a mystery...

ipython cannot load configuration files and start with default -bare bones-
configuration in Karmic
Does anyone have any ideas about what might be causing this?
Autocompletion does not work, among other things.
I have tried removing and installing ipython again with no change in the
error output.
After creating the file 'ipythonrc' in my ~/.ipython directory I no
longer get the error message -
