@graysonw Which version of IPython you have installed?

[fabianp]

Thanks for the report @graysonw . I temporarily commented the offending lines (fdf9ef3) and updated the pypi version, please tell me whether this fixes the problem for you.

@korzeniewskipl : I would say we drop support for IPython < 1.0 to avoid these issues (line_profiler after all only has the load_ipython_extension mechanism)

This is probably not the case anymore.

I'm closing this, feel free to reopen if the issue appears again.

[fabianp]

many thanks @Juanlu001 for going through these old issues!

I'm also having this issue. Here's the output from the pip install command:
