Comment(by Deil.Christoph@…):

 I have the same problem with ipython. Actually the ipython prompt is
 broken:

 {{{
 $ /opt/local/bin/ipython-2.6
 /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6
 /site-packages/IPython/utils/rlineimpl.py:96: RuntimeWarning: Leopard
 libedit detected - readline will not be well behaved including some
 crashes on tab completion, and incorrect history navigation. It is highly
 recommended that you install readline, which is easy_installable with:
 'easy_install readline'

 Same warning and broken prompt whether I use ipython from MacPorts of the
 git master.

 Any workaround / fix from this from the Macports or Ipython side?
 Should I file a new ticket?
