Thank you Chris, that did the trick. I now have ipython 2.4.1 as well, and my tracebacks are behaving. Ubuntu's repository apparently has an outdated version of ipython. Also, a heads-up: the pip3 utility does not recognize a package named ipython3, the name that Ubuntu expects. The package name reverts to plain-old ipython. This name conflict might cause problems for someone who wants to run ipython with Py2 -- while that isn't me, it may affect some of you. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
