Running multiple lines in ipython with VtrSendLinesToRunner outputs empty lines

[francescoboc]

Ok, so this is really a minor issue, and I don't even now if it coming from this plugin or from ipython itself. Basically, I use a lot the VtrSendLinesToRunner to, well, send lines to the runner pane with an instance of ipython in it. I select some lines of code in v-line mode, and then I mapped :'<,'>VtrSendLinesToRunnerto a convenient keymapping. Everything works as it should, and it is really convenient for quick testing a code, however, after the lines are executed in ipython, there are some empty lines with the In[number] identifier that are repeated. Usually 4 times, but sometimes 3 or 2. For example:

In [40]: # temperature (in units of J)

Here, the lines I visually selected from the code are the first 3. ipython ran them, but then there are 4 empty lines all with In [43]: written. As I said, it's not a big deal, but it kinds of messes up the history in ipython, as scrolling up quickly gets very long.

Just to confirm, are you using the settings in python config?

Thanks for your quick answer @christoomey ! Yes, I have those 3 lines in my vimrc, and I am starting ipython with ipython --no-autoindent. Not completely sure about the readline support, however. I am on linux and that stackoverflow post refers to mac. BTW, if I send one line only to the runner pane, then there are no extra empty lines in ipython. It happens only when I send 2 or more lines.
