how to fix IPython prompt in emacs shell mode?

how to fix IPython prompt in emacs shell mode?

[Tom Roche]

When, in emacs, I do

M-x shell
ipython

everything seems to work, except that the prompt is

^[[0;32mIn [^[[1;32m1^[[0;32m]: ^[[0m

How to get the normal ipython prompt, or close facsimile? Or is there
a better way to run ipython interactively in an emacs buffer? FWIW,
I've got

Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, GNOME, 64-bit 
GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.0)
ipython 0.10 from ubuntu package
python-mode 5.1.0 from https://launchpad.net/python-mode/

TIA, Tom Roche <Tom_Roche@pobox.com>

Try this:

(setq ansi-color-for-comint-mode t)


* from
http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/rel-0.9.1/html/config/initial_config.html

ipython.el is pretty good - it has the niceties of python-mode, but with
ipython as the py-shell interpreter (for example, C-c C-c in a python code
buffer executes that code in your ipython buffer).

I think ipython.el is distributed with ipython, but you can also grab a copy
at:  http://ipython.scipy.org/dist/ipython.el

Thanks! solved that problem. I'll post separately regarding some other
issues running ipython from emacs.

your assistance is appreciated, Tom Roche <Tom_Roche@pobox.com>
