iPython module?

Anyway we can get get iPython in Open Komodo/?
With the commercial version they have a normal python shell which is apparently "DBGP based" which means that can't be replaced with iPython. But I was wondering if there is anyway we could add iPython as a module to Komodo?
I love Komodo, but can't seem to live life with iPython, for me I use it instead of a system shell (ipython -p pysh). I would love to find a way to get it integrated into Open Komodo or Komodo somehow. I've done allot of looking and from what I understand there isn't a editor out there that uses iPython, so it would be cool if we could make Komodo the first.
Thanks,
Keith

I found this related article on embedding iPython:
http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/manual/node9.html
While I hope someone does go ahead and try working on this, I don't believe this will be that easy to accomplish, reasons follow:
* you'll lose the colorizing features of iPython (Komodo cannot provide a real terminal)
* all of the advanced keypress handling (tab completions, up/down and readline features) will need to be re-implemented (as far as I can tell) in the Komodo iPython console
