And the best thing is: IPython 0.11 is not compatible to 0.10 so if you had your own customized ipythonrc you can start from scratch. The documentation[1] says "If you are upgrading to version 0.11 of IPython, you will need to migrate your old ipythonrc or ipy_user_conf.py configuration files to the new system. Read on for information on how to do this." Unfortunately there is no more mentioning of "migration", so the developers' approach seems to be: "read all about the new configuration system and see if you can somehow duplicate your old ipythonrc settings. Good luck!". By the way: "configuration object", "applications", "configurables", "singletons", ... Am I really supposed to understand all this?
