[IPython-User] "Unexpected indent" when using ipython -wthread

[Alvaro Collet]

Hi,

I am having a problem with "Unexpected indents" in ipython 0.10. It
works well with regular ipython, but as soon as I add the -wthread or
-pylab options, it does not let me type any indented commands.

Example 1
---------
If I execute an iPython terminal normally:

$ ipython
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 22 2009, 15:35:03) 
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

IPython 0.10 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
?         -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref -> Quick reference.
help      -> Python's own help system.
object?   -> Details about 'object'. ?object also works, ?? prints more.

In [1]:    print 'hello, world!'
   ...: 
hello, world!

In [2]: 


Example 2
---------
Now, if I execute it with -wthread (same behavior with -pylab):

$ ipython -wthread
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 22 2009, 15:35:03) 
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

In [1]:     print 'hello, world!'

IndentationError: unexpected indent (<ipython console>, line 1)

What am I doing wrong? The indentation issue is really annoying if I'm
trying to copy and paste some commands (from a larger script) into
ipython.

I am using Ubuntu 8.04, but have observed the same behavior in ubuntu
10.04 (fresh install).

Thanks,
Alvaro
