Hi everybody,

I made several changes to python.el to support the IPython console.

I always preferred the standard Emacs version of python.el to this one
https://launchpad.net/python-mode but the IPython support was always
making me use the other.

Also, I really think that python's menu item "Start interpreter"
should execute `run-python' instead of `python-shell', mainly because
all the items below use that interpreter to work. With that said I
really don't understand why `python-shell' could be useful at all, my
guess is that it could be set as a defalias to `run-python'.


Regards,

I did some reworking of your patch, and have committed it to the trunk
repository.  Thanks for your contribution.

I'm not sure what is the correct thing here, so I left it alone.  If you
would like to discuss this, please start a thread on emacs-devel and we
can sort it out there.

Thanks.
