 Hi, there is a problem with the magic command {{{%edit}}} on win32.
 This bug happens in IPython release 0.8.0 and is still present
 in the svn trunk (checked r2245).

 {{{
 Python 2.5.1c1 (r251c1:54692, Apr  5 2007, 09:19:18) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
 (Intel)]
 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

 IPython 0.8.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
 ?       -> Introduction to IPython's features.
 %magic  -> Information about IPython's 'magic' % functions.
 help    -> Python's own help system.
 object? -> Details about 'object'. ?object also works, ?? prints more.

 In [1]: ed
 IPython will make a temporary file named:
 c:\docume~1\mast\ustawi~1\temp\ipython_edit_jmhr1d.py
 Editing... done. Executing edited code...

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 <type 'exceptions.IndexError'>            Traceback (most recent call
 last)


 <type 'exceptions.IndexError'>: tuple index out of range
 WARNING: Failure executing file:
 <c:\docume~1\mast\ustawi~1\temp\ipython_edit_jmhr1d.py>
 Out[1]: 'def xx():\n    print 10\n'
 }}}

 The problem is caused by a call to safe_execfile with not enough
 params. safe_execfile expects at least 3 non-keyword params (references
 {{{where[0]}}} and {{{where[1]}}}). See below:

 {{{
 Magic.py:2254:

     self.shell.safe_execfile(filename,self.shell.user_ns)
 }}}

 {{{
 iplib.py:2484:
     def safe_execfile(self,fname,*where,**kw):

         ... snipped some code ...

 iplib.py:2590:
         if sys.platform == 'win32':
             # Work around a bug in Python for Windows.  The bug was
             # fixed in in Python 2.5 r54159 and 54158, but that's still
             # SVN Python as of March/07.  For details, see:
             # http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/ticket/123
             exec file(fname) in where[0],where[1]
