messy code when using emacs ipython Inferior Python - python

I am using the newest emacs25.1.1 with the newest archlinux.
However, when I edit a python scripts and send it to the Inferior ipython by using Ctrl-Enter, the inferior Python show me a ugly messy code termial indicater like:

I also try python-mode.et or elpy package in emacs, all show the same

Further,python2.7 also tried, no work:

I've used recomendation from https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/elpy/issues/992#issuecomment-249165923. In short - add the following code:
(setenv "IPY_TEST_SIMPLE_PROMPT" "1") into emacs configuration file.

From the output and error message, it would appear that for some reason, your setup is not handling the ansi escape sequences used by ipython. Assumiing you are using pythong-mode, ensure you have the following
(setq python-shell-interpreter "ipython"
python-shell-interpreter-args "-i")
To eliminate other possible settings in your init file, I would comment out everything except the above and try again. If it works, then there is something in your setup which is messing with the ability of emacs to handle the ansi control sequences being output by ipython. If it still doesn't work, then you may need to log a bug report.
there are also a few things you can do to work around the issue.
Try adding the --no-color-info switch to ipython. This will reduce the number of control characters ipython outputs, which my limit the problem.
Consider using just python rather than ipython as the inferior process. The problem you are seeing is due to ipython using ansi control characters to provide a nicer shell. However, emacs is really your shell and you may be better off letting emacs take care of the interface and just use a simpler inferior shell
The Emacs Wiki has a fairly detailed description on how to setup a powerful python development environment. Using a simple ipython/python inferior process is the most basic approach. You may do better putting in time with some of the other packages to get a more complete development environment.

iPython: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found; plain Python fine

I keep getting this (well known) error in iPython. Yet, the same import works fine in plain Python. (Python 3.3.5, see details below)

Why would the import work in plain Python but not in iPython?
I have encountered the same problem. After hours looking and thinking I found out the cause. The difference is environment variables between interpreters (plain python and ipython or pycharm etc.). I think your can use %env in ipython to check the environment variables. In plain python, use (works in python 3.7):
import os
os.environ
Then if there are differences, maybe you should set the right one before your run.
Actually there are multiple ways to set envs. For example
os.environ['key']='value' #Both key and value are strings
or
os.putenv('key', 'value')
Here key is the name of the environment variable, and value is the value you want to set it to.
Hope this helps you.~~~///(^v^)\\~~~

PyCharm PYTHONPATH different in Python Console vs running the GAE development server?

While trying to figure out how to properly import the Google Identity Toolkit into my GAE project I observed that when running the project in PyCharm (v. 4.5.2 pro) the PYTHONPATH is NOT the same as in PyCharm's Python Console.
For example in the Console I properly find the oauth2client library from the GAE SDK (v. 1.9.23):
/usr/bin/python2.7 -u /home/usr_local/pycharm-4.5.2/helpers/pydev/pydevconsole.py 43085 43754

Is there a way to configure PyCharm to apply the same PYTHONPATH from the Console (which is IMHO correct) to the development server execution?
Alternatively - how does PyCharm determine/configure the development server execution path? (I don't mind even configuring the correct path manually if needed).
Donno if relevant, but I've upgraded the PyCharm and GAE SDK versions several times while working on this project.
It turned out that the GAE development server adjusts its own execution path depending on the SDK installation and the executed app code itself.
The failures in my case were caused by incorrect 3rd party lib vendoring in a multi-modules app. I documented my fix here: Is Google Identity Toolkit (v3) compatible with GAE/python sandbox?

Why can't I access imported functions in Django's shell with ipython?

I have installed ipython in my virtualenv, so python manage.py shell gives my ipython. However, I can't access imports from inside function definitions:

This works fine if I start ipython directly. Why doesn't it work from the Django shell?
This is a known bug that was fixed in django 1.6. There are also some workarounds for earlier versions suggested in the issue discussion, take a look.

Matplotlib won't plot: dbus issue?

I have a rather strange scenario. I'm running on a very old installation, so I've compiled most of the tools I use.
First, this is a server. It is exclusively used by SSH-ing into it. But whoever set this server up made some strange choices. Instead of creating separate users, there is one user on login called fphyiscs, with a home directory of /home/fphysics. (Access is controlled strictly via public key/private key authentication. So everybody logs in as "fphysics", but there are no passwords.) Then there are "profile" directories in this one. For instance, mine is /home/fphysics/joelfred. There is a script that is run by fphysics on login that looks through the directories in /home/fphysics and interprets these as "profile". You can then choose which "profile" you want to use. The script then sources a file called "ENVS" in this profile directory.
I thought this was weird. But I know better than to argue with a sysadmin. So I work within this system. I set up my ENVS to source a more conventional .bash_profile, instead of just setting up environment variables as they probably intended. I set my HOME environment variable in ENVS: export HOME=/home/fphysics/joelfred. The software on this system is so outdated that I've compiled tons of my own stuff, using a prefix of $HOME/opt. So my path now includes $HOME/opt/bin. I sym-linked /home/fphysics/.Xauthority to /home/fphyiscs/joelfred/.Xauthority, so x sessions work over SSH. I honestly don't remember all the hacky things I've done to make this work more normally, and so I can have access to more current software. (For instance, GCC is v4.1.2, copyright 2006.)
I've since tried to compile and install Matplotlib, with the GTK3Agg backend. This means, of course, that I had to compile a lot of x libraries, GTK, pygobject, etc., etc. At some point along the line, I had to compile DBUS. Now, I have some interesting/annoying Matplotlib behavior. This, for instance, works as expected:

Maybe they're competing? I don't know. I've symlinked /home/fphysics/.dbus to /home/fphysics/joelfred/.dbus. That doesn't seem to help. I'm at a loss. I have no idea what's going on. How do I diagnose this? How do I get dbus to work in my scenario? How do I test it on a more basic level? What in the world is going on??
BTW, Ipython makes the testing easier, but the behavior is the same if I run from a python prompt.

Problem with sh profile in IPython on Mac

I recently heard about profiles in python and quickly discovered the sh profile. I went to invoke it to try it out and got the following error on my Mac running Snow Leopard and the system Python2.6. Anyone else see this before? I was thinking about trying to reinstall the IPython egg to see if it fixed it, but thought I'd ask if any other users had seen something similar (on an Apple computer most likely).

I had success running ipython --profile=sh. However, the features of the sh profile (as advertised here) weren't available.
