 Priority:  normal         |   Milestone:        
Component:  ipython        |     Version:        
 Severity:  trivial        |    Keywords:        
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 ipython-0.8.1, py2.5
 Under Red Hat Enterprise, iPython does not like to give us colors. it
 tells us that:

 In [21]: %colors LightBG
 WARNING: Proper color support under MS Windows requires the pyreadline
 library.
 You can find it at:
 http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/PyReadline/Intro
 Gary's readline needs the ctypes module, from:
 http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes
 (Note that ctypes is already part of Python versions 2.5 and newer).

 Defaulting color scheme to 'NoColor'


 A patch fixing this in subversion is attached.
