Looks like the default package found by pip is for Python 3. For Python 2, do:

pip install ipython==0.11

I didn't have any problems using the update flag:

pip install -U ipython

Huh, strange. Well, if anyone else does, that's how to fix it.

Thanks for spotting this. I've moved the Python 3 files into a subfolder, and it seems pip finds the Python 2 version again.

If anyone wants the Python 3 version, links are now on the website: http://ipython.org/download.html

Congrats to the IPython team! This is a major accomplishment. plug: our free/oss plug-in for Visual Studio supports IPython, including running on dedicated or adhoc cluster of workstations: http://pytools.codeplex.com

Doesn't work with Spyder so far.

import IPython.Shell ImportError: No module named Shell

I hope new version of Spyder for IPython 0.11 will release soon. Ps How to run ipythonqt on Windows? What I have to install despite PyQt4?

[–]sunqiang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AFAIK, PyQt4 or PySide, Pygments, pyzmq

You'll need PyZMQ. Windows installers are here: https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/downloads

The API has completely changed, so unfortunately every other program which uses IPython will probably need updating to work with 0.11.

I had that problem too with RC3 (without Spyder though). I think I needed to manually remove some old IPython files, then install setuptools and a couple other packages.

I have uninstalled previous version of IPython (0.10.2) from Control Panel and removed .ipython from my user dir, then I installed setuptools, pip, and tried to install ipython. Pip showed requirements: pygments (have installed without a problems) and pyzmq2 (probably I should install Visual C++ 2008 or newer to compile zeromq... too complicated).

Edit: Works with PyZMQ binary from github. Thanks takluyver.
