François,

you might want to look at ipython's embedding. Since I know you use ipython,
there may be a reason why you want something else. I just mention it in case
you missed it in the docs.

After checking your trigger condition, an ipshell() call will load ipython in
the current data context.

Best,

Great! Drop me a line to my colorado address or post to the ipython-user if you
need a hand with this.

Best,
