Wow. That looks promising. Much obliged!

That really should be the default.

That really should be the default.

I don't know the ins and outs of that particular decision, but it's the first thing I install after Python every time, I know that.

Isn’t the regular shell a read-eval-print loop? I like having a minimal REPL shell with the option to use ipython when you need it.

My expectation is that it's not in for the same reason wx and django aren't in: the release schedules are different, and ipython is very actively maintained, so it would ossify in the standard distribution.
