Add C:\Program Files\Crimson Editor to your windows path variable and then set the line in ipythonrc.ini to read editor cedt I just tried it and it worked. Howey, David A wrote:

Thanks - this is helpful.

I am trying to get ipython to use an editor other than windows notepad. First I tried editing the 'ipythonrc' file. Didn't have any affect - still uses notepad. Then I tried a command line: ipython -editor C:\Program Files\Crimson Editor\cedt.exe

It doesn't like that. I think it's something to do with the spaces in the path. Should I use \%20 ? Anyone else got this sorted on a win32 system?

Thanks

As long as you use the TkAgg backend, I was able to use matplotlib and scipy with pycrust: import pylab from scipy import * x=arange(0,1,0.1) y=sin(2*pi*x) pylab.plot(x,y) pylab.show()

The only catch is that once you show() your plots, you have to close them all before you can do anything else in the command window (because gui_thread doesn't work).

While pycrust and its variants form a nice environment, the editor associated with them is pretty plain and the history mechanism isn't persistant (i.e. it doesn't remember commands after you close it and restart it).
