How do you really get iPython to run on Console2? The instructions on the iPython site are not correct: http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/IpythonOnConsole. (it says the Shell needs to be set to: cmd.exe /k "ipython") I verified that python.exe is in my Path, etc. and I still get errors when I open an iPython tab saying ipython is not recognized.

And is ipython also on your path? – Thomas K Jul 25 '11 at 19:45

Provide more information: What command did you use to run it, what error message did you get, etc. – interjay Jul 25 '11 at 19:48

I provided all the info in the question: I get the error when I open the iPython tab in console2 and the error is that ipython is not recognized. – Robert Corvus Jul 25 '11 at 20:00

I figured it out: the Shell in the tab settings actually needs to be set to this:
cmd.exe /k "<my python path>\Scripts\ipython.py -p sh"
Where "< my python path >" is the dir of your python installation, such as "C:\Python26".
I added a page to the new wiki and added a link to it in the cookbook.

1We actually have a new wiki - http://wiki.ipython.org/ - if you want to put it there. – Thomas K Jul 25 '11 at 19:48

I have windows XP and the following does not work. There is no "ipython.py" in my directory. There is a "ipython.exe" and if I use that the -p flag doesnt work. Shell: cmd.exe /k "< my python path >\Scripts\ipython.py -p sh" – codingknob May 31 '12 at 13:38
