I had been able to run IPython Notebook locally and connect to StarCluster using:<div>rc = Client(&#39;/home/alessandro/.starcluster/ipcluster/myfourthcluster-us-west-1.json&#39;, sshkey=&#39;/home/alessandro/.ssh/path-ops.pem&#39;, packer=&#39;pickle&#39;)</div>

<div>I upgraded IPython from 0.12 to 0.13 and it worked for the most part, though I had some trouble at times, so following the advice at <a href="https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/2171">https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/2171</a> I upgraded to 0.14. After restarting myfourthcluster I was no longer able to connect. I was still running 0.13 locally and was able to generate the attached crash report. I noticed that my local copy of IPython was looking for a &quot;url&quot; field in the JSON file which now looks like:</div>
