ipython console2 no module named Ipython

Question

I've been using ipython notebook with console2 for a while now and recently installed a different version of python and now my console is giving me an error saying "No module named IPython". I think the path has been changed or something, but I don't know how to fix it. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

I am pulling the answer out of the comments.

Point your PATH system variable to the correct version of Python. This is accomplished (on Windows) by going to System Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables. If you already have a Python directory in there, modify it to the correct, new path. Otherwise, append it to the end of the existing string. Do not remove what is already present.

Answer 2

If you are using anaconda for python the ipython installation is on "Scripts" folder To get the console2 running with ipython you all have to do to start cmd in silent mode by configuring a new tab in the console2 settings window on win7

here is my config for the shell:

cmd.exe /k C:\Anaconda\python.exe "C:\Anaconda\Scripts/ipython-script.py"

for the startup dir i have just defined the workspace i am using:

D:\python-workspace
