I can't launch ipython-listener

I'm trying to get up and running with an ipython plugin for gedit3, but it requires ipython-listener, and when I try to launch it I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/ipython-listener", line 27, in <module>
    from IPython.frontend.terminal.embed import InteractiveShellEmbed
ImportError: No module named terminal.embed

I'm running ipython version 0.10.2 and python version 2.7.2+

I tried to do pip install terminal.embed but couldn't find it:

Downloading/unpacking terminal.embed
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement terminal.embed
No distributions at all found for terminal.embed
Storing complete log in /home/amanda/.pip/pip.log

So now what?

Solution

  • I tried to do pip install terminal.embed but couldn't find it

    It's not a package, it's part of IPython. Your IPython is just too old (by a couple of years).

    That plugin depends on IPython ≥ 0.11 (current is 0.13.1). Try:

    pip install --upgrade ipython
