swc-installation-test-2.py: Bump minimum IPython version to 1.0
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
I see the README recommends IPython >= 1.0 [1], but this script was
only looking for >= 0.13.  The busy bees at IPython have recently cut
2.3.0 (2014-10-01 [2]).  IPython 2.x has a bunch of changes including
deprecating the file/ prefix for local files [3] and adding a modal
interface [4].  I asked for feedback on what versions we were
supporting, and got this from Matt [5]:

So this commit bumps the minimum version to 1.0.  We'll revisit this
compatibility after the IPython folks cut 3.0.
