Pain in the culo setting up IPython Centos 6.5

First pain in the ars is that you are tight to python 2.6 as if you upgrade to 2.7 (because the newest versions of ipython, i.e 2.x, are suported only on python 2.7) you break Yum and this is not a  good idea. Centos 6.5 comes with python 2.6 and Yum is based on it, can;t be changed for clarification.

Then IPython recomends to install 1.0 if you need to stay on python 2.6. So you have to download the source and install it manually (don't forget to install all the dependencies first):
untar the tarball file and run: python setup.py install

Next step is to start the ipython server listening on any IP as by default it starts listening on localhost:8888

ipython notebook --ip='*'

the output errors on logging: "TypeError: super() argument 1 must be type, not classobj"

are not relevants, you still may use ipython without issue.

If you are using Vagrant recall to forward the port to get access from the browser

http://127.0.0.1:8888

en voila !!
