Strange error while entering import copy in iPython-QtConsole (Anaconda)

I wonder if anyone experienced this strange behavior: every time I type:

import copy

      

        
        
        
      

    

In iPton qtconsole it hangs (not responding). I need to kill the window and start it again. The only way this can work is if you copy the "paste copy" with other code snippets as one copy-paste block.

I appreciate any discernment

Python 2.7.7-1, Anaconda 2.1, iPython 2.3.1

Update:

It looks like this is just an import command, I tried to import import sns ports and the same thing happened.
