IPython and colors setting

Hi all,

 

I’m intrested in Ipython, but have been disappointed that it always comes up in black and white on my screen. I’ve looked at the rc file and it set to come up in Linux colors, and I’ve tried setting the colors to Linux when running it from the command line, but no luck so far. I’m running Ipython version 0.8.4 on a CentOS 4 system, 32 bit mode. I’m connecting to the system primarily with Putty, but have also tried xterm, konsole and SecureCRT, also with no luck. These terminals display other things (ls, emacs, vi, etc.) in color. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions that might help me get the system into color mode?

 

Thanks,

Doug

Have you tried '%colors Linux' (or '%colors LightBG' if you use light
backgrounds) at the prompt?  If so, what happens?  Any error message
or just silent failure?

Cheers,
