[IPython-dev] [Shell-dev] Distributed Processing

[Brian Granger]

Hanno,

I tried this on my system and can't reproduce.  Is there any chance
you can run this using gdb?  That would at least give us an idea of
where to start looking.  Also, can you give more details about your
platforms/setup?

Thanks,

Brian

I downloaded the most recent ipython-0.9.1 and I installed it under my local epd-2.5 tree. if I start ipcontroller -x and 2 engines, and then ipython, everything works. However, if I start ipython with the -pylab flag the following happens:
