Liu,
When I try your patch ipython crashes in emacs producing the attached 
crash_report. Actually I have a variation of your patch looking at the 
EMACS environment variable that emacs sets to true when running an 
inferior process (at least my version of xemacs).

What versions of emacs/xemacs, python-mode.el and ipython.el, do you 
use? Which revisions of ipython.py and pyreadline?

I have also tried to use an inferior python process (disabling 
ipython.el) and that works without your patch. Perhaps Fernando has some 
ideas? I'm no emacs user myself and I don't understand the mechanics of 
the emacs connection.

The crash seems to be when I hit some code in genutils.write that is not 
supposed to run (according to code comments).
