If you suspect this is an IPython error, report it at: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues or send an email to the mailing list at [e-mail]

Now you can print a more detailed trace using "% tb" or use "% debug" for interactive debugging.

You can enable additional verbose traces to report errors using: c.Application.verbose_crash = True

Anyway, to get started with my laptop?

Answer 1

This seems like problems with ipython ip socket. Proven workaround:

 ipython notebook --ip=127.0.0.1

Answer 2

I take another python distribution, this is Anaconda. You can find it here: https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/ It contains an IDE with an Ipython terminal, it is very useful, and you can easily access your laptop.
