In order to use IPython during Python development in Emacs, I have been opening up a terminal, and typing ipython. This doesn't seem like the right way to do it. For one thing, my buffer lists this buffer as *ansi-term*, which is confusing, as I often end up with multiple terminals, one of which is dedicated to Python. I also see that I can open a python interpreter directly with M-x python-shell.
