Yes, that's precisely coming.  I even already have R. Kern's mercurial
repository of something along these lines that he hacked together to
work on WX, and it has nicely spelled out list of constraints for
clean WX integration.

Obviously, as you can imagine, the goal is to make it trivial to have
a true ipython console inside Envisage.

It won't happen tomorrow, but it will happen :)
