ImportError: No module named IPython.frontend.terminal.ipapp

环境：

Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS \n \l
Python 2.7.13

现象

直接pip install ipython不能用
root@bdwaf:/usr/local/bluedon/python/cfpy/manager# ipython
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/ipython”, line 5, in
from IPython.frontend.terminal.ipapp import launch_new_instance
ImportError: No module named IPython.frontend.terminal.ipapp

解决过程记录

添加：

import sys
if "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages" not in sys.path:
sys.path.append("/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages")

到 /usr/bin/ipython 后 1.

root@bdwaf:/usr/local/bluedon/python/cfpy/manager# ipython
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ipython", line 7, in <module>
    from IPython.frontend.terminal.ipapp import launch_new_instance
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/__init__.py", line 46, in <module>
    from .frontend.terminal.embed import embed
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/frontend/terminal/embed.py", line 37, in <module>
    from IPython.frontend.terminal.ipapp import load_default_config
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/frontend/terminal/ipapp.py", line 38, in <module>
    from IPython.core.completer import IPCompleter

    from IPython.utils import generics
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/utils/generics.py", line 19, in <module>
    from IPython.external.simplegeneric import generic

    from _simplegeneric import *
ImportError: No module named _simplegeneric

然后 pip install –upgrade setuptools pip 2.后
执行 pip install ipython 即可
