[OS X Emacs] Re: Aquamacs and ipython.el

[George Nurser]

Hi,
It's a python problem, not an Aquamacs problem.
See http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/stable/html/install/install.html

You need to ensure that your python has readline support from the full
(GPL) readline module, instead of the (BSD) libedit module that Apple
ships with OSX.

If you have setuptools, do
easy_install readline

or if you want more control
curl -O http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/r/readline/readline-6.1.0.tar.gz
tar -xzf readline-6.1.0.tar.gz
cd readline-6.1.0
python setup.py install

HTH, George
