I feel like there’s a missing discussion as to why they aren’t going with Ipython

I'm sure it's for exactly the same reason that I'm often hesitant to install it - huge dependencies:

  $ pip show ipython
  [...]
  Requires: appnope, backcall, decorator, jedi, matplotlib-inline, pexpect, pickleshare, prompt-toolkit, pygments, stack-data, traitlets

Also, I'm genuinely thrilled to see cross-pollination from pypy back to cpython, so am actually really glad they did it this way - as cpython's JIT becomes production-ready, maybe more bits of python will become be self-hosting?
