Excellent, thanks so much for the help. I will use the latest release
till then. The only reason I use the bzr trunk is because of the
IPython.embed() feature.

I think we should use the IPython's api in the correct way -- e.g. I
think just using the profile as you did. The only way we use IPython
is by trying to import it in sympy/interactive/ and set the pretty
printing in it. And then in isympy.
