[CentralOH] IPython Installation

[Eric Floehr]

IPython just received a $1.15 million dollar grant from the Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation [1], so if you think it does amazing things today (it does), the
future looks very bright indeed!

Anyone who saw Brandon's talk at the last COhPy meeting can attest to the
power of the IPython console and IPython Notebook.
