Hello,

Python.el has this text:

" ;; Running IPython on Windows needs more tweaking.  The way you should
;; set `python-shell-interpreter' and `python-shell-interpreter-args'
;; is as follows (of course you need to modify the paths according to
;; your system):

;; (setq python-shell-interpreter "C:\\Python27\\python.exe"
;;       python-shell-interpreter-args
;;       "-i C:\\Python27\\Scripts\\ipython-script.py")
"

I uncommented the code, but got an error saying "  error: Non-hex digit
used for Unicode escape."

Found out from here (
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24666816/emacs-warning-an-error-occurred-while-loading-emacs-el
) that emacs on Windows knows to turn forward slashes into backslashes.
Edited it to be like this:

(defcustom python-shell-interpreter "C:/Users/Matt/Anaconda/python.exe"
  "Default Python interpreter for shell."
  :type 'string
  :group 'python)

(defcustom python-shell-interpreter-args "-i
C:/Users/Matt/Anaconda/Scripts/ipython-script.py"
  "Default arguments for the Python interpreter."
  :type 'string
  :group 'python)

And it worked!  Maybe change the warning in python.el?

Thanks,
Matt
