I just installed Fedora 24 with Emacs and IPython. When I launched the IPython shell in Emacs, the prompt symbol, which should be "In [1]", is displayed as "^[[?12l^[[?25h". Is there a way to solve this issue?

  • Which version of IPython are you using? If 5, then yes, it's most likely the same problem.

  • Thank you both! I guess I will use Python shell rather than IPython in my Emacs, but I will still use IPython in the Jupyter Notebook. Hope either Emacs or IPython will fix this compatibility issue.

Thank you for the this post. It took me to an answer which I needed to modify.

Error I got was similar garbled (wierd) text when I opened IPYTHON with C-c C-p on my simple python file print("hello World").

ppppprrrrriiiiinnnnnttttt((((("""""HHHHHeeeeellllllllllooooo     
WWWWWooooorrrrrlllllddddd""""")))))))))))))))
Hello World

Solution verbatim as per @ricardoLima's answer didn't work for me. I had to re-write it as follows.

(setq python-shell-interpreter "/path/to/bin/ipython")
(setq python-shell-interpreter-args "--simple-prompt -i")

TIP:

Just use emacs -q in the terminal to open a no-init emacs and run these commands with M-:. M-x run-python and you are good to go.

P.S.
Emacs: "This is GNU Emacs 25.3.2 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) of 2019-12-24"
Ubuntu: 16.04
python and Ipython from Anaconda
Python: 3.7.6
IPython: 7.12.0
