OK, it does return nil, so I put ipython on my path.  Is this requirement
in the docs anywhere?

Now, if I just have:

(require 'ipython)


as the complete text of my .emacs, the python-mode command is not
available, and the only completions I get from M-x ipy <TAB> are
ipython-complete and ipython-to-doctest.  If I open a .py (in fundamental
mode), type sys. M-x ipython-complete, I get:

Symbol's value as variable is void: py-which-bufname


Trying another experiment, I set my .emacs to be:

(autoload 'python-mode "python-mode" "Python editing mode." t)
(require 'ipython)


and C-c ! still brings up a vanilla Python shell.

Thanks for the perseverance -- any other ideas??
