ein: [error] Error (parse-error) while opening notebook list at the server 9999.

Check list

• [x] I read "Avoid standard Emacs traps" section in https://github.com/tkf/emacs-ipython-notebook/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
• [x] I checked that IPython works with the browser interface.
• [x] I checked that the problem was not due to badly compiled files. Removing *.elc files from source directory of EIN and its dependencies did not solve the problem.
• [x] I checked that the libraries are loaded from intended place. (You can check the location in the "System info" section below)

TKF's ein currently only support IPython versions prior to 2.0. My fork over at https://github.com/millejoh/emacs-ipython-notebook seems to be working reasonably well (though not perfectly, unfortunately) for most people. If you can, download and give it a try.

@millejoh does your fork is available on melpa?
