I will mark this question as closed because you have thoroughly answered the solution that will likely work for most people. I have started a new question with the specific details of my problem, and I will proceed in the manner that you have suggested. | |

Not sure why this would fail: suggest to, install fresh blender, backup / remove your user preferences. Remove the "python" directory in the fresh blender install (forces use of system python), then try running blender from a console and running this in blenders text editor import IPython; IPython.embed(). Troubleshooting this stuff remotely is tricky but think this has the greatest chance of working.

Quite sorry, without these: import code \n namespace = globals().copy() \n namespace.update(locals()) \n code.interact(local=namespace)

| Sep 16, 2013 at 4:43 | comment | added | user1276 | I tried it without the other lines from the documentation and am given a prompt, but now blender runs with a completely blank screen... When I ctrl-D out of ipython, blender loads the gui into the window... Any ideas, ideasman? :) | |
| Sep 16, 2013 at 4:42 | comment | added | user1276 | Yes, this is the command I tried exactly, except when I tried it with these two lines only I received "ImportError: No module named IPython". To solve this, I have three lines appending my local python site-packages to the blender python sys.path. I also included the lines mentioned in the documentation you linked to. | |

@user1276, define "running a script containing this at startup", I tried saving these 2 lines in a script, then running: blender --python test_ipython.py and ipython gave me a prompt in the terminal I started blender from.
