 Hello,
 According to the google code tracking system for spyder, the newest
 ipython (version 0.11) is not supported in spyder 2.0.12, and will not be
 fully supported until 2.2. Thus, on a new installation of py26-spyder
 (though I'd imagine anyone using the py27-spyder would also be effected),
 I receive the following error message:

 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File
 "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6
 /site-packages/spyderlib/widgets/externalshell/startup.py", line 181, in
 <module>
     import IPython.Shell
 ImportError: No module named Shell
 }}}


 This error is consistent with errors reported on other operating systems,
 according to this issue on the google code repository for spyderlib:
 http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/issues/detail?id=723

 This is unfortunate, as macports is the recommended way to install spyder,
 according to the google code repository, and from my own experiences,
 attempting to use homebrew, or compiling from source code.

 In order to work, ipython probably needs to be downgraded to 0.10, or some
 workaround using the beta source code of spyder 2.1, a development version
 of ipython 0.12, and a development version of a spyder plugin to connect
 the two. That's according to this blog from the developer,

 http://spyder-ide.blogspot.com/2011/08/preview-of-new-ipython-plugin-
 for.html

 Although a more recent post makes it appear as though development on that
 plugin has run into problems for the moment:

 http://spyder-ide.blogspot.com/2011/09/no-ipython-v011-support-in-
 spyders.html

 Thus, it seems that reverting to ipython 0.10 is the only solution for a
 workable spyder installation using macports. Has anyone else run into
 this?
