Bummer.  I just removed your email address from ipython.el in the public .tgz.

Take care of yourself, those things can become chronic very easily.  I've 
dealt with some of it myself, and one thing that helped a lot in my case (but 
I know it's different for everyone) was:

1. Getting used to hanlding the mouse with the left hand.  Your right hand 
tends to do much more work than the left, so balancing loads helps.  Getting a 
symmetric mouse is a must for this.

2. A Microsoft wireless ergonomic keyboard (I have the 'Wireless Natural 
Desktop' or somesuch keyboard/mouse combo, with a symmetric mouse).  Not only 
does the shape help, but since it's wireless, I can work with it on my lap 
under the desk, giving my hands a more natural position.  It was very 
convenient recently that I had a very incapacitating shoulder surgery 
resulting from a rock climbing accident.  I was able to start typing one week 
after the surgery, when I could not even hold a glass of water in my right hand.

Good luck with this!

I've posted Alexis' 4.54 patched python-mode.el on:

http://ipython.scipy.org/dist/testing/python-mode.el

so others can test it and play with it.

Best,
