Thanks, looks fine to me and runs without issue.

The python-shell-completion-at-point-ipython test is still skipped, with
or without specifying PYTHONSTARTUP="$(python -m jedi repl)", but like
you suggest that's not necessarily a problem.

I'm guessing you don't have write access to emacs.git, but have signed
the CA?  If so, and if there are no other comments/objections in a few
days, I'll apply the patch in your name.

Thanks,
