[IPython-dev] Running IPython Notebook against Python 2.7 or Python 3.3

[Martijn Vermaat]

For a small course, we recently used this [1] approach on our Ubuntu
12.04 systems to get a Python 2.7 environment with IPython Notebook
setup.

I never tried to copy this verbatim to Python 3.3, but you could give it a shot.

cheers,
Martijn
