[IPython-user] ipython / readline & scipy

[cyril giraudon]

Hi,

I use a 2007.0 mandriva linux box.
I 've installed python 2.5.2, ipython 0.8.2, numpy 1.0.4 from the
sources (3 months ago).
All worked very well.

Yesturday, I installed scipy 0.6.0 from sources too.
Ipython is broken, seems readline believes it is win32. I reinstalles
pyreadline 1.6, always the same message.
I don't know whether the scipy installation is the cause.

Any idea ?

Thanks a lot,

Cyril.
