ipython isn't invoked for "paster shell"

[Cody Django]

Hello -- I'm using pylons for a mapfish project and would love to get
the ipython interpreter working when I call paster shell. From what
I've read on the net, it should automatically use ipython if ipython
is installed. I've installed ipython both globally (in the vm) as
well as within the mapfish vm, yet this is what happens:


(mapfish)[root@localhost]# paster shell development.ini
Pylons Interactive Shell
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Jun 6 2011, 02:26:45)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-50)]

All objects from *.lib.base are available
Additional Objects:
mapper - Routes mapper object
wsgiapp - This project's WSGI App instance
app - paste.fixture wrapped around wsgiapp

>>>

That's not ipython...


Iipython 0.10
pylons 1.0
CentOS release 5.6 VM


Any ideas? Thanks.

I do not believe that IPython is supported in the *Pylons* shell, "paster shell".

We do have support for IPython in the "paster pshell" command that ships with Pyramid.

I, however, could be wrong, it's been a while since I've used Pylons.

It's been working for me. I'm on Ubuntu with a virtualenv of Pylons
and the OS package of IPython.

Are you sure? It could be, depending on how your ipython configuration
variables are set.

Can you run "python `which ipython`"?

There's a paster shell argument that disables ipython, so make sure
it's not being set implicitly somewhere.

Another thing to mention is that we recently updated the Pyramid pshell to support IPython 0.11... the embedded shell was backward incompatible with 0.10. As 0.11 was only recently released you may be experiencing this fallback behavior. Looks like the Pylons shell will need an upgrade if anyone wants to work up a patch!

I have the same problem
After upgrade to ipython 0.11, paster shell doesn't invoke ipython

I downgrade it to ipython 0.10 by
$ pip install 'ipython==0.10'

Someone should provide patch similar to this one[1].

Pyramid's 'pshell' also supports both versions of IPython here:
