The interface to the embedded shell in IPython has apparently changed. When I do:
$ ./web2py -S myapp I get this message: WARNING:web2py:import IPython error; use default python shell Here is a patch.

Or, is there some other place where I should post this? # ================================================================== --- shell.py.orig 2011-08-17 13:27:33.888019538 -0700 +++ shell.py 2011-08-17 13:25:07.778019604 -0700 @@ -216,12 +216,9 @@ 'import bpython error; trying ipython...') else: try: - import IPython - # following 2 lines fix a problem with IPython; thanks Michael Toomim - if '__builtins__' in _env: - del _env['__builtins__'] - shell = IPython.Shell.IPShell(argv=[], user_ns=_env) - shell.mainloop() + from IPython.frontend.terminal.embed import InteractiveShellEmbed + shell = InteractiveShellEmbed(user_ns=_env) + shell() return except: logger.warning( # ================================================================== - Dave
