Sorry I haven't been more responsive, I'm at a conference and the
talks have actually been very good :)  But the answer is absolutely
yes to your request, after the whole context/with discusson with Eric,
it became clear that this is something we should support, it just
hadn't been done yet.

Please just make the lp ipython team membership request so we can add
you right away.

Cheers,
