[Bug 479914] Re: ipython cannot load configuration files and start with default -bare bones- configuration in Karmic
This is somewhat the intended behaviour. The iPython documentation (file:///usr/share/doc/ipython/manual/html/config/index.html) describes two ways of handling configuration: * Old: .ipython/ipythonrc, .ipython/ipythonrc-PROFILENAME * New: .ipython/ipy_user_conf.py, .ipython/ipy_profile_PROFILENAME.py The file .ipython/ipythonrc must *exist*; if it doesn't, the traceback you see is produced. However, it is possible to run iPython perfectly well with an *empty* ipythonrc file, doing all configuration through ipy_user_conf.py. There is an example of this file on your system at /usr/share/pyshared/IPython/UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py (Ubuntu 9.10) — or type "locate ipy_user_conf.py" to find it. The line "import ipy_defaults" in this file establishes the iPython features you are used to. I think the bug here is that iPython should treat a missing ipythonrc the same as an empty one, so I'm changing the title. ** Summary changed: - ipython cannot load configuration files and start with default -bare bones- configuration in Karmic + ipython throws errors if only ipy_user_conf.py (no ipythonrc) present ** Changed in: ipython (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- ipython throws errors if only ipy_user_conf.py (no ipythonrc) present https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479914 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've now transfered the .ipython directory from another computer to mine. Everything now works as it should. So the case of the faulty ipython install will then remain forever a mystery... -- ipython cannot load configuration files and start with default -bare bones- configuration in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479914 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Does anyone have any ideas about what might be causing this? Autocompletion does not work, among other things. I have tried removing and installing ipython again with no change in the error output. After creating the file 'ipythonrc' in my ~/.ipython directory I no longer get the error message - but of course I still don't have any features. ipython is basically behaving liky the standard python interface. -- ipython cannot load configuration files and start with default -bare bones- configuration in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479914 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
