What happens if I install pydb first and then install ipython? And as
for doing somehting ipython-wise inside a pydb import, you have the
same issue as you brought up before: I may import pydb outside of
ipython, and/or may not want it to get used automatically or every
time inside ipython.

For now, ipy_user_conf.py seems like right place to put an "import
ipy_pydb" to indicate you want %pydb to work.
