Using iPython with PyCharm
I would like to get iPython working well with PyCharm, but am having trouble and am wondering what the solution might be, if there is one.
I am using PyCharm 2017.1 and iPython 5.3.0. Additionally, I am using Python 2.7.13.
When I run a python script and break into the console, I see an error message which starts with
libedit detected - readline will not be well behaved...
It tells me that I can use easy_install to get readline installed in such a way that it should work. So, I use pip to uninstall readline and use 'pip list' to make sure it is uninstalled. I then use easy_install to install readline, but note that it installing into the site_packages folder where the error message mentioned it should not go.
Can I get iPython and PyCharm working together so this error does not appear? If so, how?

Hi! Does it work for you outside of PyCharm? It might be virtualenv bug, please read: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7375545/ipython-complaining-about-readline
Yes, it does appear to work outside of pycharm without any trouble. I did find and use the suggestion of 'easy_install -a readline' and the behavior did not change.
