I have added the PPA Adrian suggested to my apt-get sources list, and updated ipython. I now have version 1.1, that's great! I prefer the apt-get solution over pip because I use apt-get to manage updates of all installed software. Maybe the same is possible with pip but I didn't try yet.
Anyway, I still do not get a menu entry to start an ipython interpreter in Spyder. In the Tools/Preferences/Console/Advanced settings, when I change the path to the default python interpreter to /usr/bin/ipython, the resulting console does not startup correctly. However, starting ipython from a terminal works perfectly. Is there something else I'm missing? Should I try to update (or downgrade) Spyder? (version now is 2.3.0beta3) Thanks, Roel On Tuesday, 4 February 2014 16:44:26 UTC+1, ufechner wrote: > > I suggest to use pip: > > sudo apt-get install python-pip > > sudo pip install -U pyzmq > > sudo pip install -U ipython > > > Then start ipython on the command line and check the version.
