In custom.el you shouldn't write anything manually.

Look at the load-path (`C-h v load-path RET'); try 
`M-x find-libraray python-mode RET'; which lib is found?

I think the original python-mode.el is found instead of the one from
Ipython.

What is a bit sad are the differences in between python-mode.el from
Ipython and the original one; where are discussions according ipython.el
approbiate? (IMO it should be possible to put all the different code in
ipython.el so it would be easier to use it in (X)Emacs).
