[IPython-dev] Numpy with OpenBLAS vs. IPython

Hi

I have just tried this using openblas 0.2.8 and numpy 1.8.0 on mac OSx with
ipython 1.1.0 and I can't reproduce your issue.
What is the output of numpy.show_config() from python and IPython?

Is the same install of numpy being picked up and used. I.e. what is the
output of numpy.__file__ in python and IPython?

best regards
Jens
