That would have been more direct :)

I’m going to stick with setup.py develop because I need to switch to older versions sometimes for testing, but otherwise a ppa sounds like a good solution.

But I actually got rid of my manual install of ipython and switched to the development ppa which you can add to your apt sources using `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jtaylor/ipython-dev` (See the announcement for the ppa here: http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/ipython-dev/2012-January/008615.html)

No root permissions required.

$ python setupegg.py develop –user
