如何在Snow Leopard上安装iPython

Question

Does iPython work on Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard? I'm python noob, how can I install iPython on my Mac? Links? suggestions?

Thanks

Answer 1

To install with the Apple-supplied Python in 10.6:

$ sudo /usr/bin/easy_install-2.6 ipython

To use:

$ ipython

Answer 2

I may add that running

$ sudo /usr/bin/easy_install-2.6 readline ipython

gives you the ability to use tab completion to see the attributes of a module....

Answer 3

Though ipython installs and is runnable using easy_install, I found that there were some rendering problems which could only be solved by installing pyreadline as well. However, i found that there were some problems with pyreadline's installation using easy_install. The solution i've gone with involves manually extracting the python package and editing the version of gnu-readline which pyreadline tries to compile. I've posted a more in depth guide on my blog

与其他python扩展一样， pip使它非常简单：

sudo pip install ipython
