Merge pull request #4016 from takluyver/IPython-start-funcs Fix IPython.start_* functions start_kernel() didn't work at all (#4005), and I found while investigating that passing user_ns to either start_ipython() or start_kernel() had no effect, because the Application wasn't passing it on to the Shell. This is a simple fix for the most pressing issues. We should think about any other parameters that we want to be passed through from our top level API, e.g. possibly user_module. closes #4005

Following the latest source

These are the instructions if you just want to follow the latest ipython source, but you don't need to do any development for now.

The steps are:

  • :ref:`install-git`
  • get local copy of the git repository from github_
  • update local copy from time to time

Get the local copy of the code

From the command line:

git clone git://github.com/ipython/ipython.git

You now have a copy of the code tree in the new ipython directory.

Updating the code

From time to time you may want to pull down the latest code. Do this with:

cd ipython
git pull

The tree in ipython will now have the latest changes from the initial repository.
