Windows IPython executable /scripts/ipython not working

[SylvainCorlay]

Hello, I just used the IPython 1.0 msi installer on a fresh Python(x,y) installation (with no previous version of IPython installed). The installation was successful and a script "ipython" was created in C:/Python27/Scripts.

The directory is in the PATH environment variable but running "ipython", "ipython qtconsole" or "ipython notebook" does not work. Although I can still run IPython with

python C:/Python27/Scripts/ipython notebook_or_whatever

Could the IPython installer create an executable or a .bat file that handles arguments?

By the way, IPython 1.0 works beautifully. Congratulations to everyone for the new release.

The exe installers used to. Do any of us know anything about MSI installers?

@minrk made the MSIs for 1.0 this time, but he's traveling right now.

[minrk]

can you describe "does not work" in more detail?

Hi @minrk ,

In cmd,

ipython

would yield "C:\Python27\python.exe: No module named ipython" . Although C:\Python27\Scripts is in the PATH variable. If I type

python C:/Python27/Scripts/ipython

it works fine.
Cheers,

Sylvain

The MSI installers are borked, and we don't use them anymore. Closing.
