[IPython-dev] __future__ statements in ipython -i test.py

While addressing a bug in bpython, I found that (terminal) ipython and
python differ in behavior when a file test.py contains

    from __future__ import division

and I run (i)python -i test.py and then enter 1/2. The behavior is the same
for

    $ (i)python -i -c 'from __future__ import division'

and then doing some division.

Before I look too far into if fixing the problem in bpython is possible, I
wanted to see if I could crib off of your collective experience with this.
Is this behavior difficult to implement, not actually desirable, or just
not something someone has gotten around to? After Thomas's excellent
answers last time to my encoding questions I tend to think you all have
dealt with any problem I face a few times already and thought about it more
than I have. :)
