From 6b54302b90720437300967b3506bffe00a3e243c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Bělohlávek Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2017 11:05:01 +0100 Subject: python: add alias to run the proper IPython based on virtualenv Current state: a user invokes `ipython` and is provided with the IPython instance regarding the `$PATH`. Proposed state: a user invokes `ipython` (which is a new alias in the *python plugin*) and is provided with the proper IPython instance regarding the currently activated virtualenv. Example: the user's default Python is 2.7 with installed IPython 2.7. User activates Python 3.5 virtualenv where he installs IPython 3.5. After activating the environment, one expects `ipython` to run the version 3.5, which does not happen by default. Instead, IPython 2.7 is used, which in counter-intuitive and often causes problem.
