can't install ipython via pip on OSX High Sierra

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to install ipython via pip on OSX 10.13.4 but I’m getting the following error:

bash-3.2$ sudo -H pip install ipython
[...]
matplotlib 1.3.1 requires nose, which is not installed.
matplotlib 1.3.1 requires tornado, which is not installed.
prompt-toolkit 1.0.15 has requirement six>=1.9.0, but you'll have six 1.4.1 which is incompatible.

Is this due to an inconsistent set of dependencies in ipython’s setup_requires?

Python version: 2.7.10 pip version: 10.0.1 OSX version: 10.13.4

I faced same issue while trying to pip install ipython and was able to get ipython installed after executing sudo easy_install ipython

After that I ran ipython from command line and got what I expected.

@tlatorre-uchicago thanks for the response. I was able to install jupyter without problem, but I wasn’t able to get around the ipython installation issue.
