Description

@WaterSibilantFalling

A single sentence at the top of the README.md, should be a quick fix

    I think corrupting is a strong word. If you disable and remove rlipython
    IPython has no reasons to be broken.

    Well, fyi, after trying to remove rlipython, I can't run run ipython

    --cache-size=<Int> (InteractiveShell.cache_size)
        Default: 1000
        Set the size of the output cache.  The default is 1000, you can change it
        permanently in your config file.  Setting it to 0 completely disables the
        caching system, and the minimum value accepted is 3 (if you provide a value
        less than 3, it is reset to 0 and a warning is issued).  This limit is
        defined because otherwise you'll spend more time re-flushing a too small
        cache than working**[TerminalIPythonApp] CRITICAL | Bad config encountered during initialization:

    You're right, I should edit setup.py and make a PR.

    Yeah I'm having the same problem. Can't get into ipython to uninstall, not even with --simple-prompt. Pip uninstall and reinstall of ipython doesn't fix the issue.

    Update: Back on track here. I ended up creating a new ipython profile and logging into that to uninstall rlipython. You can also replace contents of .ipython\profile_default\ipython_config.json with {}.
