I'm having trouble getting an ipython console in Spyder. It only offers a python interpreter under the "interpreters" menu.
I've seen this issue for a couple of others in Stackoverflow, but didn't have much joy with the proffered solutions.
I'm running linux Mint 16 and have installed both ipython (v 1.1.0) and Spyder (v 2.2.1) the easy way via the Mint Software Manager. I made sure that I also installed ipython-qtconsole and verified that I could run it from a terminal (i.e. ipython qtconsole).
I can activate an ipython console using the following commands in a Spyder python console:
import IPython
IPython.start_ipython()
though the font coloring is strange and doesn't work well on a white background (e.g. error messages in yellow and light green). It would be nice anyway to be able to start ipython the normal way from the Spyder menu.
You may want to install python-zmq for Python 2 and python3-zmq for Python 3.
I use Ubuntu 14.04, so:
sudo apt-get install python-zmq python3-zmq
I'm also using Linux Mint (18.1, at this time) and I have faced the same issue.
What solved this for me was installing Ipython3 Qt console (that, of course, should be Ipython Qt console if you're using Python 2.x).
In case you have it installed, check if you have the latest version
(In Linux Mint you can do this through Synaptic, aptitude or apt-get.)

I just downloaded vscode using homebrew and install python#3.11 using homebrew as well. I used pip3 install jupyter as I saw other recommend to fix this issue and still no luck. I have downloaded all the extensions on vscode and I have set the kernal to homebrew version of python and I still recieve this issue. Note that I have used notebooks in the past and have never gotten this issue so I am not really sure what it is this time. I have not installed anaconda.
I have tried uninstalling and installing the extensions but no luck. I have tried to pip3 uninstall jupyter, pip3 uninstall notebook and reinstall them and still no luck. I have tried to change the kernal to the default python3 on the mac and still nothing. My mac is m1 running on Ventura 13.2. I am able to run python code on regular python files just not using jupyter notebook. I followed the instructions how to set it up on vscode website but I got this error. Any help would be appreciated thank you.
I have same issue using VSCode on Mac OS.
VSCode's 'Jupyter' plugin is broken, causing VSCode unable to bind with python interpreter. Downgrading from v2023.1.2000312134 to v2022.11.1003412109 fixed my issue.
I had the same issue, running on m1 mac (Ventura 13.2). If you aren't already, make sure you are utilising a python virtual environment:
# Create a python virtual environment
$ python -m venv venv
# Activate your python virtual environment
$ source venv/bin/activate
Form your VSCode Command Palette (Shift+Command+P), search and then choose
Jupyter: Select Interpreter to Start Jupyter Server
You should then select the python version that is associated to your virtual environment (venv).
I finally was able to install ipython on my Windows 7 PC and it runs without any errors. The problem is that I used to code in ipython but in MAC. Now that I am trying to upload my previous notebooks I receive the following error:
Unreadable Notebook: MyFile.ipynb Unsupported nbformat version 4
I found this answer for my question but unfortunately that is not for windows and did not resolve my problem. It is worth to mention:
ipython --version
produces:
2.3.1
Any help or comment on this is much appreciated.
Thanks
It took me a while to figure this out but I got the first lead from user "cel". I used to have multiple versions of python (2.7 and 3.4). I removed python 3.4 because it's not compatible with spark yet. Next, I had to remove WinPython3.4 and replace it with WinPython2.7 so it can integrate with python 2.7 installed on my PC. Finally, I installed python 2.7.9 and set the C:/Python27/Script as a part of system environment variable. After doing all this I ran the following commands:
pip uninstall ipython
This helped me to remove older version of ipython. Then:
pip install ipython
This installed the latest version of ipython on my windows pc. Finally:
pip install notebook --upgrade
To upgrade notebook to latest version. Right now, ipython os installed and and should work fine doing this:
ipython notebook
Had no problem importing my previous .ipynb after all of the above.
Good luck to you all.
I have the same problem on Linux. Simply doing:
sudo pip install notebook --upgrade
worked for me. I have python 3.4 and 2.7 and unlike the answer by nimafl, there was no need for me to remove one them or to first uninstall ipython. A simple upgrade did the trick. Now instead of version 2.3.1 I have version 4.0.3 of ipython.
So I installed Anaconda on my Ubuntu linux 12.04LTS x64 box. It seems to work fine except for this. So I created a conda environment using the
conda create -n py33dev python=3 anaconda
When I try to run the ipython shell, I would expect to get the Ipython3 shell and notebook. However, it still loads the ipython 2.7.6 shell. I tried using the ipython3 command, but it will then load an ipython3 shell from my computer and not from Anaconda.
I tried to install ipython3 to the Anaconda environment using
pip install ipython3
and
conda install ipython3
However, when I do this I just get a message saying "No packages found matching: ipython3"
So I am not sure why Anaconda runs fine with python2 but not with python3--even though Continuum indicates it is python3 ready. Am I missing a step anywhere? Does anyone know how to solve this?
Did you remember to do "source activate py33dev"?
I was previously running Enthought EPD 7.3.2, but switched over to Canopy (academic license). I completely uninstalled EPD before running the Canopy install.
After installing Canopy, I have a shortcut to IDLE in the Canopy start menu folder, but I can't get it to launch (I click it and nothing happens). Tried uninstalling and reinstalling Canopy, but am having the same issue.
Running the 64-bit version of Canopy on Win7, 64bit.
I had a similar problem and found a very simple solution. Try it out and see if it works in your situation too. There is a directory for the Canopy installation:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy\App\appdata\canopy-1.7.4.3348.win-x86_64\Lib\idlelib
Find “idle.ico” file there, copy and paste it into “Icons” subdirectory.
This fixed the problem!
Canopy 1.0 and 1.0.1 versions have problems with tcl and TKinter, and IDLE doesn't work. This should be fixed in an update, which is just round the corner.
As an afterthought, is there a specific reason you wish to use IDLE? Canopy's editor comes integrated with an IPython console (along with many other goodies), which gives a much better user experience while programming, IMO. (Disclaimer: I work for Enthought)
i am trying to get inline graphs working in iPython notebook.. i begin by starting ipython with the command ipython notebook --pylab inline.
when i try to use the plot() function i get the following error
im running on OSX 10.6.8 and running ipython out of a virtualenv i have matplotlib and libpng installed
i also get this warning in the terminal
libpng warning: Application built with libpng-1.2.41 but running with 1.5.13
and plot() works normally when i use ipython in the terminal only when i use ipython notebook i get this error.. can someone help me with this..?
I had this problem as well. Another solution is to change the format which the notebook will render images in, from 'png' to 'svg'. This can be done in your config file. Mine is located at:
~/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_notebook_config.py
There is a line that looks like this
# c.InlineBackend.figure_format = 'png'
Uncommenting and changing to 'svg' did the trick for me:
c.InlineBackend.figure_format = 'svg'
This recent question on this board is similar to yours: matplotlib and libpng issues with ipython notebook
See if the solution there solves your issue.
so i finally got this working..
first off i had to get all my outdated ports updated
first i did port selfupdate
then sudo port update outdated
after that i reinstalled ipython using mac ports
sudo port install py27-ipython
then i had to install tornado and pyzmq respectively as ipython depends on it
sudo port install py27-tornado
sudo port install py27-zmq
and then ran it from the terminal
ipython notebook --pylab inline
everything works fine now i can plot maps inline in ipython!
i guess the reason it didnt work before was some problems with pip maybe its installing matplotlib that is build only for libpng 1.2.41 ??... so anyways if anyone else faces this problem id suggest reinstalling all the libraries and ipython via mac ports thats the only thing that worked for me.
Since it was complaining that the versions of libpng used for building and for running are different, I have reinstalled the matplotlib by forcing the path to includes.
CFLAGS="`libpng-config --cflags`" pip install matplotlib -I
