[IPython-dev] Issue of install ipython-py3k

[sunqiang]

Hi,

  After git clone git://github.com/ipython/ipython-py3k.git
  "python3.2 setup.py build" raise a byte/str error, I have to change
line 370 of setupbase.py from "cfg_parser.set('commit hash',
'install_hash', repo_commit)" to "cfg_parser.set('commit hash',
'install_hash', repo_commit.decode())" to finish the setup.
I don't know if this is my own problem.
the error I am getting is:
