Did you try the following (from the manual)?: Input/Output prompts and exception tracebacks You can test whether the colored prompts and tracebacks work on your system interactively by typing '%colors Linux' at the prompt (use '%colors LightBG' if your terminal has a light background). If the input prompt shows garbage like: [0;32mIn [[1;32m1[0;32m]: [0;00m instead of (in color) something like: In [1]: this means that your terminal doesn't properly handle color escape sequences. You can go to a 'no color' mode by typing '%colors NoColor'. You can try using a different terminal emulator program. To permanently set your color preferences, edit the file $HOME/.ipython/ipythonrc and set the colors option to the desired value.
