To spare others frustrations, you need to run IPython from the same directory as the notebook you want to view. So to see chapter one:

    (your-virtualenv) ~/path/to/the/book/Chapter1_Introduction $ ipython notebook --pylab inline
and then it will be linked on the list. Importing from different directories apparently doesn't work.



I had a heck of a time getting scipy working in a virtualenv on Mac OS X Mountain Lion. If you're looking for an easy install script, I whipped one up here:

Improvements welcome!


I started using Anaconda on OSX to skip the install headaches.
