Easy then -- ipython is not in your path. Try M-:(executable-find "ipython")
-- I predict it will return nil. It really *MUST* be in your path; you can't
set py-python-command or so and I even think that's sort of reasonable
(because there is little need to have different versions of ipython kicking
about and I guess ideally I'd rather pass py-python-command etc. related stuff
to ipython).
