You are right -- I got excited too soon.  This *does* fix my shell,
which is great.  But I can still reproduce last week's problem:

1. $ emacs /tmp/blah.py where blah.py is empty
2. type "123"
3. type C-c C-c

Then I see a screen full of ansi garbage (irrespective of whether I
have ansi settings in .emacs).  If, however, I first start ipython
using C-c !, and then do C-c C-c, it works fine.
