ipython + gnu emacs on windows

Has anyone managed to get ipython within gnu emacs (21.3.1) working on
Windows XP?

I've the following versions of required software
Python 2.4.1
IPython 0.6.15
python-mode.el (defconst py-version "$Revision: 4.63 $"

I have also installed other ancilliary packages (per
http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/manual/...:Under-Windows)

Now when i do M-x py-shell, I get to the ipython shell with a bizarre
prompt as follows

^A^BIn [^A^B1^A^B]: ^A^B
^A^BIn [^A^B1^A^B]: ^A^B?
---Return to continue, q to quit---

If I type '?' without quotes as shown above, I get a single line
(---Return to continue, q to quit--- ) and nothing else.

Also any errors are not reported on the screen.

Any ideas? Thanks for your help

Note: invoking ipython for a regular nt cmd shell works just fine.

I've written an article on IPython which is now live on O'Reilly's ONLamp site at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2005/01/27/ipython.html. All feedback is welcome. Regardless of what you may think of the article, I hope it encourages everyone to at least try out IPython. IPython has become an indispensible tool in my toolbox. I cannot say enough great things about it. Jeremy Jones

Hi all, I have a small problem with IPython shell on Windows. If I run 'python C:\python\scripts\ipython -p pysh' from cmd.exe or directly from Run dialog, I don't get any output from 'shell' commands like ddir. If I run ipython shell from 4NT, ddir and similar commands work fine. Python version is 2.4.3 and IPython version is 0.6.15.

Hi all, I've been looking at IPython for awhile, but I'm always disappointed that it comes up in NoColor mode no matter what I try. It is configured in the ipythonrc file to be 'color Linux'. I've run it from a Putty terminal window, Konsole and xterm, still no luck. The Putty window shows color for other types of things, like ls and emacs, etc., but no luck with IPython. I'm trying this on a CentOS 4 system and connecting via an...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents.
