Hi all, after some trials I got IPython to behave correctly under OSX (Leopard). However I had to install the readline egg built by Ludwig Schwardt. No way to get it working correctly using the built-in libedit.
After digging a little bit into it, I've noticed that when libedit are used the ~/.ipython/history file looks like this: import\040os for\040i\040in\040[1,2,3]:\012\040\040print\040i As you can see, all the "special" character (namely spaces and newline) are replaced by their _octal_ ascii code. I think this is the real culprit of the IPython's misbehaviors under Leopard. So I tried to find out where in IPython code the history file is updated, but unfortunately I was not able to do it. If anyone could tell me where that code is, I'd try to investigate this issue further, test it thoroughly under OSX and eventually build a patch to fix this altogether. I hope someone can help me, since I'd really like to contribute to the project and improve the OSX users experience.
