*Errors* in profiles do get special treatment.  Add 1/0 in a config file,
and you get:

[TerminalIPythonApp] Exception while loading config file
/Users/minrk/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/minrk/dev/ip/mine/IPython/config/application.py", line 440,
in load_config_file
    config = loader.load_config()
  File "/Users/minrk/dev/ip/mine/IPython/config/loader.py", line 268, in
load_config

  File "/Users/minrk/dev/ip/mine/IPython/config/loader.py", line 321, in

  File "/Users/minrk/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py", line 4,
in <module>
    1/0
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero

And the missing extension error is already specially handled:
[TerminalIPythonApp] Error in loading extension: dne
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
/Users/minrk/dev/ip/mine/IPython/core/extensions.pyc in
load_extension(self, module_str)
     85         if module_str not in sys.modules:
     86             with prepended_to_syspath(self.ipython_extension_dir):
---> 87                 __import__(module_str)
     88         mod = sys.modules[module_str]
     89         return self._call_load_ipython_extension(mod)

ImportError: No module named dne

The only way to load an extension is by asking for it in a config file, so
we have perhaps inappropriately assumed that
it is obvious where the error resides.  Under normal circumstances, I don't
think it's possible for this error to occur without the *user* writing
the bad code.  The fact that EPD writes its own default config file that
won't normally
work outside EPD means that users are facing this issue without ever
touching or even thinking about IPython config.

I can easily add a 'check your config files in ...' bit to that error
message.  I'll push straight away if Fernando
thinks that's a good idea.  What it looks like right now:

[TerminalIPythonApp] Error in loading extension: dne
Check your config files in /Users/minrk/.ipython/profile_default
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
/Users/minrk/dev/ip/mine/IPython/core/extensions.pyc in
load_extension(self, module_str)
     85         if module_str not in sys.modules:
     86             with prepended_to_syspath(self.ipython_extension_dir):
---> 87                 __import__(module_str)
     88         mod = sys.modules[module_str]
     89         return self._call_load_ipython_extension(mod)

ImportError: No module named dne
