Hehe, nice hack!
But why would you do this?  If you want ipython, just start ipython, not 
python.. I occasionally like to be able to start python without bells and 
whistles, e.g. as a simple calculator.

BTW: You can also have completion w/o ipython:

I think you would need to call qt.qApp.quit() instead of sys.exit here.
