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

FTA - Option 3: Using other existing REPL implementations: The authors looked at several alternatives like IPython, bpython, ptpython, and xonsh. While all the above are impressive projects, in the end PyREPL was chosen for its combination of maturity, feature set, and lack of additional dependencies. Another key factor was the alignment with PyPy’s implementation.
Python is 150mo. Hard to justify that 10% of the lines of code, source of bugs and maintenance only go to the shell.
I mean, I understand the post fine, but I have never seen the units (Mo, mo) before and am wondering where they came from.
I would guess mo is megabytes(megaoctets?) and Mo is gigabytes(is ipython really 15GB? yikes)

It's great hearing it in general, but given the HN community is picky, it feels even better.
