PyCharm's Python console fails when PyPy and iPython co-exist in a virtualenv created project

Some version info:

• OS: Mac OS X 10.8.4
  
• Python: 2.7.2 (that came with the Mac OS X)
  
• PyPy: 2.0.2
  
• iPython: 0.13.2
  
• PyCharm: 2.5.1

PyCharm's Python console fails when PyPy and iPython co-exist in a virtualenv created project.



I created three virtual environment projects. I did not activate any of the virtual environments. So, the system python still exists as it is.

Env - 1:

$ virtualenv -p /path/to/system/installed/python /path/to/sample_1/virtualenv/project
$ /path/to/sample_1/virtualenv/project/bin/pip install ipython

Now, when I run the python console in PyCharm it works fine. (Interpreter in PyCharm is set to /path/to/sample_1/virtualenv/project/bin/python)

Env - 2:

$ virtualenv -p /path/to/pypy /path/to/sample_2/virtualenv/project

Now, when I run the python console in PyCharm it works fine. (Interpreter in PyCharm is set to /path/to/sample_2/virtualenv/project/bin/python)

Env - 3:

$ virtualenv -p /path/to/pypy /path/to/sample_3/virtualenv/project
$ /path/to/sample_3/virtualenv/project/bin/pip install ipython

Now, when I run the python console in PyCharm it fails with the following error. (Interpreter in PyCharm is set to /path/to/sample_3/virtualenv/project/bin/python)

/path/to/sample_3/virtualenv/project/bin/pypy -u /Applications/PyCharm.app/helpers/pydev/pydevconsole.py 60355 60356

Please be mindful that bin/python in any of the virtual environments points to the installed interpreter. For example, /path/to/sample_3/virtualenv/project/bin/python points to pypy and /path/to/sample_1/virtualenv/project/bin/python points to the system installed python.

Seems like this is related to this. But, I am not sure.

Please help.
