Enthought Canopy ipython configuration: bad interpreter No such file or directory

I'm trying to launch Enthought Canopy's ipython from a Terminal in Mac OS 10.8.3 using the following command:

/Applications/Canopy.app/appdata/canopy-1.0.0.1160.macosx-x86_64/Canopy.app/Contents/bin/ipython

but I'm receiving the following error:

/Applications/Canopy.app/appdata/canopy-1.0.0.1160.macosx-x86_64/Canopy.app/Contents/bin/ipython: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.1/Resources/Python.app/Content: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

This (7.1) framework was previously installed but was removed long ago, so I can't quite figure out where Canopy's IPython is getting this link from. I've checked my ./ipython/profile_default directory as well but this didn't help.

Any idea how I might be able to launch ipython from a Terminal?

Thanks!

Canopy uses virtual environments to setup a user environment which is isolated from the environment in which the app itself is running. This prevents any changes made to the environment, by the user, from crashing the application itself.

To run an IPython terminal, with access to any packages that you may have installed via the package manager, you should run IPython from the User environment -- ~/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin/ipython
