[IPython-user] %ed returns "\n"

[Matt Wilkie]

I get the same thing with '_i<n>' commands:

In [4]: x = 12

In [5]: if x > 0:
   ...:     print 'x is positive'
   ...:
   ...:

In [9]: _i5
Out[9]: "if x > 0:\n    print 'x is positive'\n    \n\n"

In [10]: %r _i5
Executing: _i5
Out[11]: "if x > 0:\n    print 'x is positive'\n    \n\n"
