ipython complaining about readline
<p>When I install ipython on my osx and run it, I get the following warning: </p>

<pre><code> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/
 site-packages/IPython/utils/rlineimpl.py:96:
 RuntimeWarning: Leopard libedit detected - readline will not be wel
 behaved including some crashes on tab completion, and incorrect
 history navigation. It is highly recommended that you install
 readline, which is easy_installable with: 'easy_install readline'
</code></pre>

<p>I have have installed readline, and do not use the system python that was originally installed in <code>/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python$</code>. The <code>/usr/bin/python</code> points to version 2.7 as shown below</p>

<pre><code>uname -a
Darwin macbook.local 10.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun  7

$sudo pip install readline ipython

$ipython --version
0.11

$/usr/bin/python --version # 
Python 2.7.1 

$which python
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python
</code></pre>

<p>I have read the question in <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1017909/python-sys-path-modification-not-working">Python sys.path modification not working</a> - I added <code>/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/readline-6.2.1-py2.7.egg-info</code> to the  <code>/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/ipython</code> so that it now looks like this: <a href="http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=dVnxufbS">http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=dVnxufbS</a></p>

<p>but I cannot figure out why I am getting the following error:</p>

<pre><code>File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/ipython",
line 9
sys.path.insert(0,"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/
python2.7/site-packages/readline-6.2.1-py2.7.egg-info")
</code></pre>

<p>I do not think the above path is an issue, and my goal is to get ipython to working without complaining about readline even though it is installed and imports correctly.</p>
