Running for source is really simple with Spyder as it runs right along side your installed version without any conflict. Simply pull down the source from the project website, run bootstrap.py from the main directory, and you should be running. More details here: http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/wiki/NoteForBetaTesters Again, I would recommend running directly from source using the bootstrap script. > FWIW...

IPython has changed dramatically from 0.10 to the current 0.13 release, and Spyder 2.1.X was designed around IPython 0.10. I can say, however, that IPython 0.13 works great with Spyder 2.2, another benefit to running from the current development source. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spyder" group.
