Forcing interactive interpreter without (-i)

[Fuzzyman]

In Movable Python I use IPython and code.InteractiveConsole to provide
interactive sessions.

See the file 'movpy.py' in the source distribution to see the code.
Note that to get IPython working with py2exe you must effectively do an
explicit `import site`.

# could have the banner passed in as an optional argument, plus
maybe the IPython config file location

>    try:

extract locals from the calling frame - taken from IPython
>        from code import InteractiveConsole
>        con = InteractiveConsole(localvars)
>        con.interact()

manual for a list of features and tips.\nCtrl-D to exit.'
>        argv = ['-ipythondir', libdir]              # where to find
the ipython config file
>        ipshell = IPShellEmbed(argv, banner=banner)
>        ipshell()
