Uhm -- does this happen only with the very latest version I sent you (i.e. is
it due to the prompt regexp changes (which I just looked at again and which
prima facie seem right))?

Because it seems to work fine for me (with standard prompt -- I just checked
again with a fresh emacs and I also tried both C-c C-c and C-u C-c C-c, with
and without an existing *Python*). I also tried with your command args
(although I'm running ipython 0.6.5).
