Comment 1 for bug 565466

That's very odd. Unfortunately I can't reproduce it here. I don't have a Hardy box, but on a Karmic one with 0.10 and python 2.5 (2.5.4 to be exact), everything works as expected:

Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Jan 20 2010, 21:44:03)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

IPython 0.10 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
? -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref -> Quick reference.
help -> Python's own help system.
object? -> Details about 'object'. ?object also works, ?? prints more.

In [1]: def g(b):
   ...: if b:
   ...: x = b + 10
   ...: return x
   ...: else:
   ...: return b
   ...:
   ...:

I haven't the foggiest idea what could be causing this, and without a way to even reproduce it (I've never seen something like it before either), I'm not sure I can work on fixing it.

Is this on a stock Hardy install with the system python and ipython, or is it using a custom install?
