Hi Soeren,

thanks very much for the bug report. You use stable, right? Which
version of ipython do you have?
For me, it works with Version: 0.8.1-2. We could add conflict with the
version of ipython that
you have and lower, but that would render python-sympy uninstallable
for some people.

Easy workaround is this:

$ isympy -c python

Please tell me, if it works.

Then we may try to find some solution with the ipython.

Ondrej
