Traceback and NameError on anaconda python 2.7

[hayd]

I'm new to vim, please forgive me if I have done something silly (hopefully that's the case!).

I get this error when I run :IPython:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/andy/.vim/bundle/vim-ipython/ftplugin/python/vim_ipython.py", line 151, in km_from_string

  File "/Users/andy/anaconda/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 384, in raw_decode
    raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

and ctrl+s:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/andy/.vim/bundle/vim-ipython/ftplugin/python/vim_ipython.py", line 478, in f_with_update

Note: I have an ipython (2.1.0) console open.

I'm also having the same issue, did you ever get it resolved?

[shanechin]

Ah, this happens before you initialize with :Ipython in your vim session. I assumed this only needed to be done once, and only when you sourced the file. It needs to happen every time.

I'm stuck at the same point, any workaround?

[Thomas-van-Dijk]

Same for me..

Do you have an ipython kernel running? vim-ipython does not currently start a new kernel, it can only connect to kernels that have already been started via either ipython kernel or ipython console or by opening up a notebook file in jupyter
