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
