Thanks for reporting this. The problem is that IPython is not installed. If you run pip install ipython, then it should work.

I don’t want to make IPython a hard dependency, but I think I’ll fix this by showing a message and falling back to ptpython.

In my case I had to run sudo pip2 install ipython. If the default version of python is 3.x.x then the warning banned added by @jonathanslenders does not appear.
