stack trace if you try to use some of the built in iPython utilities,

looks something like this:

What should happen:
Using the SAME iPython package to launch the default iPython environment
(2.6) by typing either ipython or ipython2.6, does NOT result in the
same error when trying to launch those internal iPython commands.
