IPython 1.0 introduces an actual stable public API function
for starting a normal (non-embedded) IPython session.
This is an official public API, which is promised to survive implementation changes.
Also:
* Added a ``--no-startup`` option to disable this behavior. Previous
logic to try to execute the code in charge of this funcionality was
flawed (it only tried to do so if the user asked for ipython/bpython
and they weren't found)
* Expand ``~`` in PYTHONSTARTUP value.
Thanks hekevintran at gmail dot com for the report and initial patch.
Refs #3381.
This allows for a behavior more in line with what is expected by Ipython
users, e.g. the user namespace is initialized from config files, startup
files.
Thanks Benjamin Ragan-Kelley from the IPython dev team for the patch.
Specify python interpreter interface ipython or bpython with the -i,
--interface options
argument.
ex// python manage.py shell -i bpython
ex// python manage.py shell --interface bpython
Like all other options, defaults to default python interpreter when your
selected choice isn't available.
