Answer 1

The only working way on MacOS Mavericks is to:

1. switch to your virtualenv workon myproject_name
2. delete readline and ipython (if you installed it before) pip uninstall readline ipython
3. install readline only via easy_install (pip - no work!) easy_install readline
4. finally install ipython with pip pip install ipython

It's work well on my MacOS and tested a long time.
