IPython notebook command returns errors

I'm new to Python and am struggling getting IPython (also numpy/scipy packages) to work properly on my Win7 machine. I have Python3.3 installed, IDLE works, the command "ipython3" alone starts the ipython environment, however I cannot get the notebook started. I get the following error messages. Help would be appreciated.

C:\Users\Emre> ipython3 notebook Traceback (most recent call last):

You have installed pexpect on Python 3 on Windows. There are two problems with this:

  • pexpect doesn't work on Python 3
  • pexpect doesn't work on Windows

You should uninstall pexpect (pip uninstall pexpect). If you want pexpect functionality in Python 3, then you need the Python 3-compatible fork pexpect-u, but this doesn't apply to Windows.
