Hello,<br><br>I am a Python newbie who is excited about using IPython notebook but can't seem to get it installed properly. I downloaded and installed EPD Free 7.3. I've worked through a couple of examples in West McKinney's book "Python for Data Analysis" so I know that IPython works via the console.<br>
<br>At the command prompt, I typed ipython notebook --pylab=inline. A notebook tab appears in my browser (I'm using the latest version of Firefox in Windows Vista, also tried it on my laptop in Windows 7). When I click "Create Notebook" I get "500: Internal Server Error." The error message that appears in the command prompt is copied below.<br>
<br>Thanks for any advice on how to get ipython notebook set up.<br><br>Jeff <br><br>
