The better feature, for me anyway, is the notebook interface (it starts a local web server and gives you a rich web guy, somewhat like a Mathematica idea of interactive notebook editing with inline charting etc.)
But, that's a whole other bunch of dependencies that aren't in scope when installing ipython.
Not sure of the best fix, offer ipython and ipython-full-stack on PyPI?
I like the qtconsole feature but i find it less than perfect to install:
1. pip install ipython 2. <system package manager> install qt4 3. pip install pyside / qt4 bindings
