How to install IPython for Maya 2015 mayapy on Windows.

So somehow you want to install IPython for mayapy. Make sure you have mayapy.exe on your path or you can invoke it somehow.

  1. Grab ez_setup.py here. Run it with mayapy. You can't get pip as mayapy is built with broken ssl support, which is needed for pip bootstrapping.

     mayapy ez_setup.py

  2. Grap latest pyreadline-x.x.zip here on PyPI. Install it offline. You can't install online as mayapy is lacking ssl.

     mayapy -m easy_install pyreadline-2.0.zip

  3. Grab latest ipython-x.x.zip here on PyPI. Install it offline:

     mayapy -m easy_install ipython-2.3.1.zip

  4. Now you can start IPython like this:

     mayapy -m IPython

    ipymel should also work after some fiddling.
