Hi there. It looks like IPython is definitely the better choice for you - I never wanted to add IDE-like features to bpython; I just wanted it to work the same as the regular shell but with a bunch of nice features on top. If you want something more complex, or something with more specialisation is certain areas then IPython is probably the better choice. Especially with the recent funding they've received I expect it will just get better and better. :)
