[IPython-User] can't activate IPython parallel magics

[Johann Rohwer]

I'm just starting out with parallel IPython and can get the cluster 
controller and engine launcher working. However, when trying to activate the 
IPython parallel magics from within an IPython session, I'm getting the 
following traceback (running from a fresh git install). Any ideas?
