Old Safari browsers don't work with ipython notebook

[iglpdc]

To add to the troubleshooting section. Safari is version for the Mac OS 10.7. The fix is to set Chrome (maybe Firefox) as the default browser.

In the current installation-test script, there are tests for
IPython-compatible browsers since
wking/swc-setup-installation-test@d13b26c9f
(swc-installation-test-2.py: Add minimum browser requirements for
IPython, 2015-01-24). The minimum Safari for IPython v3.0.0 was 5.0,
but I haven't checked since then. Is OS 10.7 running an older Safari,
or has IPython shifted to requiring a more modern version?

I'm not sure. I'll check in a bit: we're in the middle of the workshop.
Also it might be that the learners didn't run the check scripts at all :)

The learner didn't show up today, so I couldn't check on Safari's version. OS 10.7 should run at least Safari 5, according to [1], and the Jupyter docs [2] still mention minimun Safari as 5.0.

Should we close this?

Probably, since I don't think we have enough information to
auto-detect the issue. But maybe post a note on the wiki pointing
here, so folks will re-open if they see something that looks similar?

Ok, I've just added a note on the wiki. Closing this.
