I am using Pycharm which worked perfectly well for over a couple of months. I recently used Vpython for an animation, which opened a new tab in the active Chrome video (with localhost:<port number> as the address) to run the animation when called. This all went well, but after having used it, whenever I try to open the console via pycharm, it doesn't work with the following error.

I can run python via command prompt and from outside Pycharm. The chrome tab Vpython script runs perfectly well still.I tried restarting pycharm and the computer, but I actually have no clue about the problem here. I am using Windows 10.
PS: Went through multiple problems of this sort on this site. But non had a list.remove(x) x not in list type problem.
The problem is caused by IPython 6.3.0 version (ticket in PyCharm bug tracker: PY-29313). Either update PyCharm or IPython (6.3.1 works fine).
