Unable to debug in PyDev eclipse. KeyError pydev_ipython.matplotlibtools

In PyDev Eclipse Mars I get an error when I want to debug a script. In the debug console I get the error:

Error unable to add break on exception for: StandardError (exception could not be imported)

and additionally I get a Caught Exceptions tab which shows

<class 'KeyError'>:'pydev_ipython.matplotlibtools' - MainThred - pid_25386_id_140237683517184'.

Now I am absolutely clueless about what is the issue, but I noticed that the debugging problems only started after I pip installed the IPython console.

I've encountered the same error in my Eclipse Neon with PyDev 5.1.2 install:

Error unable to add break on exception for: StandardError (exception could not be imported)

While the error seems harmless (debugging works OK here) it's still annoying so to get rid of it I selected Run -> Manage Python Exception Breakpoints and unchecked StandardError.

I also prefer to use the standard Python shell for debugging instead of IPython; you can achieve the same by editing

eclipse/plugins/org.python.pydev_VERSION_HERE/pysrc/_pydev_bundle/pydev_ipython_console.py

and uncommenting "raise ImportError()"
