Ipython Emacs Integration

Has anyone managed to get Emacs 23, python-mode.el and ipython.el working together recently? my .emacs looks like this: (add-to-list 'load-path '~/.emacs.d/python-mode.el-6.0.3/')

Solution 1:

Here's another reason someone may be getting this error:

iPython 0.12 exits with an error if given a -color arg.

What fixed it for me was replacing

(setq py-python-command-args '("-colors""Linux"))

in my .emacs with

(setq py-python-command-args '("--colors=linux"))

That is, make sure that the args passed to iPython were valid. If not, iPython exits with error and we fall back to the regular python interpreter.

Solution 2:

ipython.el is known to be out of date. None of the core IPython developers know emacs lisp. Someone is now working to fix it - if you have time, please test his branch and report whether it works.

Solution 3:

I had the same error invoking IPython from Emacs23. I fixed it by replacing all instances of -colors with --colors in ipython.el
