If I'm right, they both offer basically a reworked Python interpreter
with lots of bells and whistles. But the bells & whistles are optional,
so there's a very shallow learning curve but the opportunity to see
how the extra features might be useful.

bpython doesn't work on Windows and iPython has never quite clicked
with me in spite of a few goes, but I'm at least +0.5 on having them
available for people who know/like them or at least think they might
benefit.
