README.md - update to highlight "DO **NOT** USE WITH IPYTHON 7" - it WILL corrupt your installation.

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. If you send a pr updating the readme I'd be happy to merge. Updating setup.py to mark the dependencies as IPython<7 is also a possibility. And actually updating this repo to work with 7+ would be nice. It's just an open source project so we usually scratch our own itch on our own free time. Contributions and help always welcome.

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

    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 {}.
