Hi Adam,

why not just use a file in the startup directory?

$ echo `ipython locate profile`/startup/
/home/pi/.ipython/profile_default/startup/
$ cat `ipython locate profile`/startup/README
This is the IPython startup directory

.py and .ipy files in this directory will be run *prior* to any
code or files specified
via the exec_lines or exec_files configurables whenever you load
this profile.

Files will be run in lexicographical order, so you can control
the execution order of files
with a prefix, e.g.::

  00-first.py
  50-middle.py
  99-last.ipy
  
best,
