I'd like to submit this port (my first) for testing. I have built
and tested the port on i386-current; it works fine.

I'm a little uncertain regarding the versioning of this port, as
upstream released the most recent version as ipython-0.7.1.fix1.
I'm also not sure of the proper procedure for porting Python apps,
but I followed a few examples I found already in the ports tree.
Lastly, 'devel' seems an appropriate category, although 'shells'
might fit as well.

Thanks in advance for testing and feedback!

pkg/DESCR:
    IPython provides a replacement for the interactive Python interpreter
    with extra functionality.
    
    Main features:
    * Comprehensive object introspection.
    * Input history, persistent across sessions.
    * Caching of output results during a session with automatically
      generated references.
    * Readline based name completion.
    * Extensible system of 'magic' commands for controlling the
      environment and performing many tasks related either to IPython or
      the operating system.
    * Configuration system with easy switching between different setups
      (simpler than changing $PYTHONSTARTUP environment variables every
      time).
    * Session logging and reloading.
    * Extensible syntax processing for special purpose situations.
    * Access to the system shell with user-extensible alias system.
    * Easily embeddable in other Python programs.
    * Integrated access to the pdb debugger and the Python profiler.
