I don't have a major objection to interfacing with proprietary
software, but I think it makes sense for most extensions to be
externally maintained. The idea of an extension system is that you can
make things like this without having to get them included in IPython.
I'd encourage you to add it to the extension index on the wiki, as
well as making an announcement:
http://wiki.ipython.org/Extensions_Index
Also, we can easily include an extension later if we realise it would
be more valuable like that, but dropping a default extension is more
disruptive.
Best wishes,
Thomas
