Aha, thanks. Yes, my problem was a too-old pyzmq.
It's OK that we have a minimal version requirement, but what we should
do is catch the problem and report with a useful message. A 'minimal
pyzmq version required for IPython is 2.0.X' message would have let me
know what's going on by myself, where as I was misled into thinking
the problem could have been elsewhere.
Given Mark's sleuthing on the state of distros, I have no problem with
requiring 2.0.10. I don't think EPD is officially shipping any pyzmq
yet, are they? We could always be super-nice and use the slow
fallback on 2.0.9, but I'm OK not even doing that until we hear an
actual complaint of a usage scenario where 2.0.10 is an unsuitable
burden for a user.
I'll proceed to update my pyzmq now, thanks for the info!
Cheers,
f
