$ python setup.py symlink
$ python setup.py install
worked.

Thanks!

In case it matters, I’m doing this in a conda environment. I’ve run conda
install pip and conda install readline (etc.) ahead of time.
I try:
$ pip install --no-deps -e "[notebook]"
and it ends with

    Installed /Users/alessandro.gagliardi/Devel/ipython
Successfully installed ipython
Cleaning up…

But when I try
$ ipython
It gives me

Traceback (most recent call last):

(FWIW, if I run strait up python and import readline, it works fine.)

Since that didn¹t work, I tried using setup.py as you recommended, but I
may have done it wrong. First:

$ python setup.py symlink
