I'm having this issue as well, the exact same one as in #22. I just updated my Jupyter and IPython versions to the most recent version (>4 for both) and just installed ob-ipython. During the install, I get the following warnings:

In ob-ipython--execute-request:
ob-ipython.el:203:20:Warning: reference to free variable
    `url-http-end-of-headers'

In ob-ipython--inspect-request:
ob-ipython.el:264:20:Warning: reference to free variable
    `url-http-end-of-headers'

When I try to run one of the example blocks, I get the following messages, just like #22. Is this another version issue with a recent update of jupyter or ipython?

Just run in to this issue myself on a new laptop. Once I figure it out I'll let you know.

The problem for me is the python binary that is being used. I used pip to install the necessary modules but the system python (/usr/bin/python) can't see them. /usr/local/bin/python can. Now to figure out how to make emacs use the second python...

[gregsexton]

(setq python-shell-interpreter "/usr/local/bin/python")

Solved all of my problems.

Let me know if this fixes your problems or at least gets you on track to a fix.

I'm just going to add a small note here that might help someone. I had the same issues but switching from ipython to just python as python-shell-interpreter worked, however for some reason the notebook package was not installed with jupyter or ipython for me by default and it spit out the same error for that. pip install notebook fixed that for me. This is not spelled out in the dependencies probably because it should be obvious but it was a bit of a got ya moment for me.

I'm having troubles with this currently. I don't have any installation at /usr/local/bin/python.

I have /usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python3 as my Python installation binaries.

Can you elaborate on how you solution fixes the problems greg? Thanks.

The above @Xparx reminder to pip install notebook seemed to solve this problem for me too.

Using ipython 4.2.0 with elpy, I no longer get the HTTP response error, but do get a warning about not supporting readline etc.:

Native completions have been disabled locally.

which does not appear when elpy is not enabled (this may be some other problem in my configuration). Take it for what it's worth--which may not be much!

The fix of setting python-shell-interpreter works for me. I use anaconda, so adding the command (setq python-shell-interpreter "~/anaconda/bin/python") worked for me.
