Bug#294861: ipython doesn't work with new python packages unless profiler (from non-free) is also installed.

[Christian Hudon]

Package: ipython
Version: 0.6.5-1
Severity: major
The new python2.3 split off the profiler module into its own package 
(into non-free). When trying to run ipython with that new python package 
installed, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/bin/ipython", line 26, in ?
   import IPython
 File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/IPython/__init__.py", line 52, in ?
   __import__(name,glob,loc,[])
 File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/IPython/Shell.py", line 30, in ?
   from IPython.iplib import InteractiveShell
 File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/IPython/iplib.py", line 54, in ?
   from IPython.Magic import Magic,magic2python,shlex_split
 File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/IPython/Magic.py", line 24, in ?
   import os,sys,inspect,pydoc,re,tempfile,profile,pstats,shlex,pdb,bdb
ImportError: No module named profile
... which makes ipython unusable. I guess the two possible solutions are 
either make ipython depend on python2.3-profiler (and move it to 
contrib) or patch it so it continues to work but without the profiling 
functionality when the profiler module isn't present.
