Fixes #1357
This PR is a workaround to fix a bizarre bug that happens when the
ipycommand is executed when usinggnureadlinewithPython 3.13on Mac or Linux.We aren't sure if the fundamental underlying bug exists within
gnureadline,ipython, orreadline; but this workaround does appear to be a solid method for preventing it.NOTE: This PR is slightly more complicated than need be. Strictly only the try/import at the beginning is necessary. The other code within
ipywhere we importstart_ipythonfromIPythonif it doesn't already exist is to support the rare case that developers have actually used many times in the real world whereipythonisn't installed at first and you encounter a bug in acmd2application and then installipythonfrom within thecmd2app and then executeipyto help debug the problem.Also:
