Hello,
I just recently joined this mailing list because I'm having the
following problems with IPython. Here's what I get when I type in the
following:
In [1]: ls
IPython system call: dir /on /on
This is *all* its says. It does not display the contents of the
directory. When I type:
In [2]: dir
Out[2]: <built-in function dir>
Again, this is all I get. And then finally, when I type in the following:
In [3]: !!ls *txt
IPython system call: ls *txt
The program seems to freeze (I cannot get it to quit using Ctl-C or
Ctl-Z), and I have to close the window. I'm using the newest versions of
the program and its prerequisites. Any help or workarounds would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.
