Cannot setup ipython on mono

[burjorjee]

I'm using IronPython 2.7.4rc1 (2.7.0.40) on Mono 4.0.30319.17020 (64-bit)

I git cloned the latest version of ipython, navigated to the ipython directory, and ran

ipy setup.py install

Got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 61, in File "/mnt/development/keki/ipython/setupbase.py", line 386, in File "IPython/utils/submodule.py", line 15, in File "/devel/keki/ironpython/Lib/subprocess.py", line 430, in ImportError: No module named fcntl

Being able to run ironpython from within an ipython shell would fantastic. But this currently doesn't seem to work under mono

It doesn't work on Windows completely, either. I believe IronPython 2.7.4 will have the necessary capabilities, but ipython itself will need some patches. I'm definitely keeping an eye on it because it's very, very close to working.

Thanks Jeff. Glad to hear it's close to working!

If there's a fork of ipython with the patches installed, I'd be happy to test it on mono.
