Error launching iPython

[chasingtheflow]

I'm getting the following traceback when I try to launch iPython ... any ideas? Using brew's default python, ie brew install python.

 ~> ipython 
Traceback (most recent call last):

you have an ipython on your PATH, Python doesn't have an IPython version 0.13 anywhere on its import path. Make sure that when you install IPython, you install it with the right Python (e.g. easy_install --upgrade ipython), and be mindful of the output, and compare with which ipython.

@minrk Thanks for the tip. Found an ipython script in /usr/local/bin/ -- not entirely sure how/what put it there but removing it and reinstalling python via brew with appropriate PATH updates worked nicely. Thanks for the help!
