Error on launching IPython on Win 7 and Python 2.7.3

[shensac]

Hi,

I just installed IPython on Win 7 with Python 2.7.3 and on launching ipython I get following error. I looked at some other post and concluded that this issue was fixed/closed.

Do I still need to change pickleshare.py?

Thanks
Sachin

If you suspect this is an IPython bug, please report it at:
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues
or send an email to the mailing list at ipython-dev@scipy.org

You can print a more detailed traceback right now with "%tb", or use "%debug"
to interactively debug it.

I guess it was bug #737 that you saw. It should be resolved by now - can you make sure you don't have an older version of path.py installed?

Yes you are right. I seem to have missed that point. I was on path 2.2, upgraded to 2.4.1 and it looks good now. Thanks for your help.
