Research direction
The issue reports that better exceptions does not work in IPython. There are 22 comments on the issue which may provide additional context or hints about the problem. The repository is a Python library for pretty exception formatting. To investigate, look at how better exceptions hooks into Python's exception handling (likely via sys.excepthook) and compare with IPython's custom exception handling. Check if IPython overrides sys.excepthook and if there is a conflict. Also review the issue comments for any proposed solutions or workarounds.
