TraitError in traitlets.py(332) on any input

[jfkw]

For the past month or so with ipython master, on any input, the following error is raised:

TraitError: The 'pprint' trait of a PlainTextFormatter instance must be a boolean, but a value of 0 <type 'int'> was specified.

  ~ $ ipython

Should be fixed by cc9d85e

[minrk]

something this glaring lasting a month or more just goes to show how many people use --classic mode.

I can confirm that cc9d85e fixes the issue. Testing that also revealed that IPython would always crash on exit in classic mode. This is fixed in 1dc55eb.

Thank you for the fix(es).

Minutes after posting, I fat-fingered an rm command, removing my .ipython. The normal mode with no config worked perfectly.

--classic mode? I can't restore my config from backup until tonight to check what's in it, but I try to keep the inputs '>>> ' , the continuation '... ', and the output unadorned, like the regular python shell. This is mainly for pasting into doctests. My apologies for not utilizing all the hard work you guys put into the ipython repl rendering ;)

[minrk]

If you were asking what '--classic' mode is, if you do:

ipython --classic

You will get the prompts, output, etc. of the regular Python shell.

It looks like you have a config file that sets pprint=0, but pprint
should be a boolean. Can you see if you have such a config file?

The config file I had that was crashing the earlier revision of
ipython git master was:

~ $ cat dotfiles/ipython/ipython_config.py
c = get_config()
c.Global.display_banner = False
c.Global.nosep = True
c.Global.classic = True
c.InteractiveShell.confirm_exit = False
c.InteractiveShell.editor = 'emacsclient'
c.InteractiveShell.pdb = True

This config works without alterations now, though. Thank you for the fixes.
