[IPython-user] need pyreadline fix soon

[Ryan Krauss]

I am tesing the effortless install I am planning to unleash on my
students tomorrow (I announced my plan in class yesterday and nobody
freaked out).  But I am having troubles with pyreadline.

I installed this one:
http://ipython.scipy.org/dist/pyreadline-1.3.win32.exe

and am back to getting this message:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

What should I do?  I need to read the threads about pyreadline-1.4.3.
Is it close to being ready to go?

Thanks,
