Try this:

(setq ansi-color-for-comint-mode t)


* from
http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/rel-0.9.1/html/config/initial_config.html



Or is there a better way to run ipython interactively in an emacs buffer?


ipython.el is pretty good - it has the niceties of python-mode, but with
ipython as the py-shell interpreter (for example, C-c C-c in a python code
buffer executes that code in your ipython buffer).

I think ipython.el is distributed with ipython, but you can also grab a copy
