Environment details:

I followed the installation instructions as below

$ sudo pip install colorama
$ git clone https://github.com/OrangeFlash81/ipython-auto-import.git
$ python install.py

When I try running iPython, I get the below error

$ ipython
[TerminalIPythonApp] ERROR | Exception while loading config file /home/siddharth/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py

My ipython_config.py contains only the line c.InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines.append("%load_ext import_wrapper") and I also noticed that import_wrapper.py copied to the ~/.ipython/extensions folder.

Is there something I am missing?

Your version of IPython is an older one which I haven't tested the library on. Also, the library is designed for Python 3 and hasn't been tested on Python 2, although this might not affect it depending on how IPython runs extensions.

First, try adding c = get_config() to the top of ipython_config.py. If that doesn't work, try updating your IPython to the latest version of IPython 4 or 5.

Adding c = get_config() to top of ipython_config.py worked.

Thank you!

Thanks for letting me know. I'll see if I can add a version check which does this automatically.
