<p dir="ltr">So Dylan,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Did you install Ipython on all nodes? </p>
<p dir="ltr">It is the first thing that comes to mind. </p>
<p dir="ltr">There are plugins that come with starcluster to install other software through pip. Did you use one of there?</p>
<p dir="ltr">The third thing at comes to mind is using the Ipython plugin: </p>

<p dir="ltr">It is hard to fully understand what you do, yet I hope on of these paths will be relevant towards a solution. </p>
