Got this from the ipython-user list:
Use %reset:
In [1]: import math
In [2]: math.sin(3)
Out[2]: 0.14112000805986721
In [3]: %reset
Once deleted, variables cannot be recovered. Proceed (y/[n])? y
In [5]: math.sin(3)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError Traceback (most recent call last)
/home/fperez/Desktop/<ipython console> in <module>()

Note that it is NOT the same though: idle forces a new, fresh python
process, while ipython just clears your current variables. So things
like reloading extension modules won't work the same way.
