IPython Packaged with CIAO OTS [Updated] (13 Dec 2012)

CIAO includes IPython in the CIAO OTS directory which is used by Sherpa and ChIPS to provide command-line user interfaces. These programs create an IPython profile in the directory $HOME/.ipython-ciao4.5, as to not override the user's IPython setup should one already exist.

If IPython users want any personal customizations to be available when running CIAO, they will have to copy them from $HOME/.ipython to $HOME/.ipython-ciao4.5. Alternatively, the environment variable IPYTHONDIR to $HOME/.ipython, in which case, CIAO will use that as the default IPython directory.

Changes in CIAO 4.5

The IPython directory used by CIAO now includes the CIAO version number - so .ipython-ciao4.5 - rather than just .ipython-ciao used in previous versions.
