OK, good tip.  I wiped all my site-lisp .elc files, made a .emacs that
contains just (require 'ipython), restarted emacs, and opened a Python
source file.  It opened in fundamental mode, and the 'python-mode'
command wasn't loaded. ipython-complete and ipython-to-doctest were the
only completions I got when I typed M-x ipy <TAB>.

C:\Program Files\emacs-21.1\site-lisp>ls -lu
total 660
...
-rw-rw-rw-   1 user     group       35848 Dec 12 19:40 doctest-mode.el
...
-rw-rw-rw-   1 user     group       13329 Dec 13 18:59 ipython.el
...
-rw-rw-rw-   1 user     group        1011 Dec 12 19:40 pycomplete.el
-rw-rw-rw-   1 user     group        2824 Dec 12 19:40 pycomplete.py
-rw-rw-rw-   1 user     group      153780 Dec 12 19:40 python-mode.el
...

As you can see, ipython.el was accessed, but that's all.

Do these clues enlighten anybody?
