the skeleton code of what I do is

from IPython import parallel
.....
rcAll = parallel.Client()
all_engines = rcAll[:]
lbvAll = rcAll.load_balanced_view()
....
for anInpt in allInpt:
    lbvAll.apply(mputil.doAll, anInpt)
lbvAll.wait()
lbvAll.get_result()
....
for ijk in range(len(list(lbvAll.results.values()))):
    out = list(lbvAll.results.values())[ijk]
    ionS = out[0]

However, all that out ever contains is import error messages.
This worked before but but something must have changed between IPython 2.1 and 2.2. At least, that is my guess.

Check the output of:

cat /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/*.pth

Delete the following path if it exits inside the "catted" folder: 

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages being on the front of sys.path means that there is an easy-install.pth file with this path, which should be removed. It is caused by a bug in setuptools.

If that doesn't work, simply upgrading some of your tools might fix the problem.

pip install --upgrade ipython
pip install --upgrade setuptools pip

I found the problem. I started the ipcluster in a shell with a different PYTHONPATH than the one I was running the notebook in. That simple but I took a while. I apologize for the noise.
