I guess just catching that optional final space is all I care about.  It's 
nigh impossible to configure ipython.el to recognize any prompt, since ipython 
allows you to shove arbitrary code (you can put rand() in there, if you want 
:) in your prompt.  So just catching the possibility that the default prompts 
may or may not have spaces after the ':' is more than enough in my book.

Anyone playing fancier tricks than that with their prompt will have to dig 
into their regexp/elisp manuals, and I'm fine with that.

Best,
