Ipython on Windows 7 cannot find pyreadline

I am trying to install Ipython for Python3 on Windows 7.

installed Python3 using python-3.3.0.amd64.msi

installed pyretin using pyreadline-1.7.1.win-amd64.exe

Downloaded distribution-0.6.34.tar.gz

Downloaded distribute_setup.py

On the DOS prompt, went to the python33 directory and did

python distribute_setup.py

Installed IPython using ipython-0.13.1.py3-win-amd64-PROPER (I right clicked and selected "run as administrator")

When I start IPython, I now get the message "Warning: Realine services are not available or loaded. WARNING: Correct color port under MS Windows requires pyreadline library."

What gives?

EDIT: I spent about three hours today trying to install python3 and Ipython with no success. I have read several SO threads and IPython documentation related to installation on Windows ... still no success. If anyone wants to write down how to get right, that will be very gratifying.

You need to install the development version of pyreadline ( in Github ). Added support for Python 3 since version 1.7.1.



Perhaps you should take a look at Pyzo , the all-inclusive scientific Python 3 distribution that includes IPython. This is probably the easiest way to get started. There are several similar distributions based on Python 2, but Pyzo is the first to try Python 3.
