I have 'ipython --profile pysh' in my terminal's custom command, on servers I'm a bit more cautious and have a 'pu' (power up, or python up) command which is basically the first thing I type. You have to watch out for the shell history not working quite the same and that newly installed programs won't be seen until you do a '%rehashx'. Other than that it's pretty much all gravy. Now I just need to get around to transitioning to that python tiling window manager.
While I've got you, and seeing you are not longer at Reddit, what do you think of jkl.io (launched today)?
I think someone asked the question at a Scipy conference a few years back, "Who here uses IPython as their primary shell", and IIRC about 30% of the people raised their hands.

You know, it never occurred to me to use iPython as my shell. I think that would make me more productive. I'll have to try that, thanks!
