IPyConsole 1.2 doesnt open on Ubuntu 14.04

[spaceof7]

I have QGIS 2.8.3 installed from the LTR-nightly repository. IPyConsole used to work correctly but now I get an error message telling me the that the Ipython version needs to be 3.1 or greater. If I downgrade to the 1.1 plugin version then the console launches properly. I am using ipython/ipython-qtconsole installed from apt, which is version 1.2.1-2. If I try to install ipython via pip(ipython 4.0.1) then IPyConsole give me the error "cannot import name IPythonWidget".

Hi,
I have QGIS 2.10 installed from the AUR on Archlinux and have the same error. The error is actually on line 211 in IPyConsole.py, the import statement is wrong, there is no module named IPythonWidget in IPython.qt.console.rich_ipython_widget. The error message is misleading because the try statement is too long.
I changed line 211 in IPyConsole.py to:

from IPython.qt.console.rich_ipython_widget import RichIPythonWidget

and line 256 to:

class myWidget(RichIPythonWidget):

now everything works.

edit: I forgot to mention I have IPython v4.0.0 installed

Cheers!

I've just released a new version which fixes another problem, can you please test it and if it doesn't work you can maybe add a conditional instruction to check for IPython version and apply your patches in a PR?

Thanks.

I am still having this problem in QGIS 2.18.19, on Debian Sid. My ipython version is 5.5.0 and my python version is 2.7.15.
