I'm using elpy for my python coding. I wanted to try ipython because of the nice built in profilers. So what I've done is to install ipython within my virtualenv. It works correctly. I then added the following line to my init.el
(elpy-use-ipython)
However after restarting emacs I get the error that command iypthon is not found. Is it possible to set ipython on a virtualenv basis? Or how can I fix the issue. I'm running linux debian 9.3 stretch
Reading the docstring for the deprecated elpy-use-ipython, it points to https://elpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ide.html#interpreter-setup that recommends the following setup for ipython:
(setq python-shell-interpreter "ipython"
python-shell-interpreter-args "-i --simple-prompt")
If it still fails, you could try using full path to your ipython executable.
recomme
(setq python-shell-interpreter "jupyter"
python-shell-interpreter-args "console --simple-prompt"
python-shell-prompt-detect-failure-warning nil)
(add-to-list 'python-shell-completion-native-disabled-interpreters
"jupyter")
