Unless you work with non-ASCII. Ipython mangles non-ASCII unfortunately.

[Full UTF-8 environment]

In [1]: a = u'愛'
In [2]: a
Out[2]: u'\xe6\x84\x9b'

Normal python shell:

>>> a = u'愛'
>>> a
u'\u611b'

I wonder if it can be easily fixed with a getpreferredencoding() or by using
an .encode(sys.stdout.encoding or getpreferredencoding() or 'ascii',
'replace') triplet.
