As I'm also on f20, I created a copr repository at [1], which currently
contains the ipython from rawhide and python-tornado-3.X as the "quick and
dirty" way. Just put the repo file to /etc/yum.repo.d/ and you should be
able to update to it.
But be aware of the possible drawbacks:
It is forbidden to push a new ipython to f20, because we might break
packages that rely on the old ipython, because of the major version update
(see [2]).
As you are doing exactly that with the copr packages, you might break other
packages, that depend on  ipython/tornado, such as accerciser, sagemath,
python-ipdb, eclipse-pydev, to name a few..

If you don't use other packages that rely on a specific version of
ipython/tornado, the copr repository should work just fine.
Let me know, if you have troubles with it.

Greetings,
    Thomas
