Thanks Thomas!
This mostly worked. That is- I got the update, installed it (had to as
sudo).

When I tried launching ipython notebook --browser=chrome ...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/ipython",
line 7, in <module>
    launch_new_instance()
  File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/frontend/terminal/ipapp.py",
line 409, in launch_new_instance
    app.start()
  File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/frontend/terminal/ipapp.py",
line 379, in start
    return self.subapp.start()
  File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/frontend/html/notebook/notebookapp.py",
line 481, in start
    browser = webbrowser.get(self.browser)
  File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.2/lib/python2.7/webbrowser.py",
line 52, in get
    raise Error("could not locate runnable browser")
Error: could not locate runnable browser

This isn't really an iPython issue any more. But for those who do use
Chrome with the notebook...

(I do have chrome installed on my system.)
Is chrome "known to the system" by a slightly different name?

Thanks!
