Hi,

Please excuse the slightly off-topic query.  I'm learning Python, using
the IPython (0.13) shell, and wanted to run it from Emacs 24.  AFAICT,
python.el is the most actively developed library, and is included in
Emacs.  How do experienced Python programmers set up their python.el to
make the best of it?  I've done it following the recommendations given
in the library¹:

(setq
 python-shell-interpreter "ipython"
 python-shell-interpreter-args ""
 python-shell-prompt-regexp "In \\[[0-9]+\\]: "
 python-shell-prompt-output-regexp "Out\\[[0-9]+\\]: "
 python-shell-completion-setup-code
 "from IPython.core.completerlib import module_completion"
 python-shell-completion-module-string-code
 "';'.join(module_completion('''%s'''))\n"
 python-shell-completion-string-code
 "';'.join(get_ipython().Completer.all_completions('''%s'''))\n")

but this may be a little outdated as it refers to IPython 0.11.

Thanks,
Seb
