 I recently installed py27-ipython. On starting it, I receive the following
 error:
 {{{
 $ /opt/local/bin/ipython-2.7
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/opt/local/bin/ipython-2.7", line 27, in <module>
     import IPython.Shell
 ImportError: No module named Shell
 }}}

 Googling, I found: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/286

 This suggests that the ipython-2.7 script itself is out of date.

 Replacing
 {{{
 import IPython.Shell
 IPython.Shell.start().mainloop()
 }}}
 with
 {{{
 import IPython
 IPython.embed()
 }}}
 in /opt/local/bin/ipython-2.7 seems to fix the problem, and give a normal
 ipython shell.
