[IPython-User] Startup files don't get loaded when using embedded IPython (InteractiveShellEmbed)

[Ingo Fischer]

So as startup files don't work I just provide the content of my startup 
file to the InteractiveShellEmbed via user_ns.

What I'm trying to do:
I'm currently tweaking the django-extensions (especially the 
"shell_plus" command) to get a highly enhanced shell for my Django 
project. For example I'm showing the current Django logging settings 
inside the IPython prompt.

As the django-extensions already provide a user_ns to 
InteractiveShellEmbed (its pre-loading the db models), I just had to add 
my own modules from my startup script inside the method which retrieves 
the user_ns-packages, and so I got it running.

Thanks for the help!

Cheers,
Ingo
