title: Installing iPython: "ImportError cannot import name path"?
body: <p>I'm trying to install IPython. I have run <code>pip install ipython[notebook]</code> without any errors, but now I get this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ipython notebook
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/Users/me/.virtualenvs/.venv/bin/ipython", line 7, in &lt;module&gt;
      from IPython import start_ipython
    File "/Users/me/.virtualenvs/.venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/__init__.py", line 48, in &lt;module&gt;
      from .terminal.embed import embed

      from path import path as Path
  ImportError: cannot import name path
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have the same error if I try to run <code>import pickleshare</code> at a Python console, or <code>from path import path</code>.</p>
  
  <p>What can I do to fix this? </p>
