This looks like it's picking up an older version of IPython.

If you simply start ipython, you should see the new version number, do
you get that?  Something like

maqroll[~]> ipython
Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec  7 2009, 18:45:15)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

IPython 0.11.bzr.r1321 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.

Mmh, I just realized that iptest is a bit brittle against 'naked'
calls with flags but no module arguments.  Try without the -v, just

./iptest

and let us know how it goes.

I'm a bit puzzled that it's showing those prompt control sequences
there, we start our test instances in no color mode...

Thanks again for the info, this is very useful.  It's exactly the kind
of feedback we need.

Cheers,
