Did you enabled the global site packages in your virtualenv? If you are using virtualenvwrapper, you can execute: toggleglobalsitepackages Otherwise see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3371136/revert-the-no-site-packages-option-with-virtualenv?rq=1 You should be able to execute without errors (no output): python -c "import IPython" On Mon, Jan 13, 2014 at 11:47 AM, Łukasz Kulbacki <[email protected] > wrote: > Hi everyone! > > I've just installed IPython and Scrapy - but whenever I fire up '$ scrapy > shell' it uses standard python shell.
