IPython colors in windows

[Fuzzyman]

Are you really using the readline module from newcenturycomputers ?
I've got a feeling that's broken and you need to use the Gary Bishop

Sorry if this is spurious... (restricted internet access, so I can't
check for you... but the correct one is linked to from the IPython
site).

Regards,
