Hi all,

I was getting several syntax errors in the notebooks and I assumed this
was because ipython was installed for Python 3.4. So I uninstalled
ipython both with apt-get and pip and installed ipython with pip2. Now
my python and ipython seem to be in sync:

$ python
Python 2.7.9 (default, Mar  1 2015, 12:57:24)
[GCC 4.9.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> exit()


$ ipython
Python 2.7.9 (default, Mar  1 2015, 12:57:24)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

IPython 4.2.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
?         -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref -> Quick reference.
help      -> Python's own help system.
object?   -> Details about 'object', use 'object??' for extra details.

In [1]: exit()

but now I'm unable to start the notebooks:

$ ipython notebook examples/

Any suggestions?
