Problem with Xonsh on Ubuntu 18.04

[Grové Steyn]

I have installed Xonsh by two methods (apt and pip3) and in both cases I get the following error:

====

grove@grove-YOGA-920:~$ xonsh

It looks like a problem with prompt_toolkit.key_binding.manager. Any suggestions?

Hi Grové,

That looks like an error caused by having a version of prompt_toolkit >= 2. We're working on making xonsh compatible with that but in the interim you can do a `pip install prompt_toolkit<2` and that should let xonsh start up.

Yes, that did the trick - thanks!
