Ipython is amazing. To see a library code, I jsut tab-out lib_name.__file__
and then

!vim paste_the_file_path

Going to add something like anand's pyvi to ipy_user_conf.py.

Ipython with treat anything after bang(!) as a shell command to never felt
the need till now.

Related: You can get a ipython shell within your django runserver's

from IPython.Shell import IPShellEmbed
ipython = IPShellEmbed()

I also like to debug with ipdb (rather than the pdb). Add this to your
Django views.

import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace() and debug away.
