Hi

being able to use python as a source block is great, but I often stumble
over the fact that when using sessions you have to treat empty lines in
a special way (i.e. as the end of an indentation block).

I was wondering if it would be easy to create an ipython mode, something
like

#+BEGIN_SRC ipython ...

where the content for a session is copied over to an ipython buffer
using the ipython magic %cpaste. This way empty lines should be treated
correctly.

It would also have the nice side effect of giving access to other magic
commands within org-babel, such as %timeit or profiling.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to modify ob-python.el to achieve this.
Apart from setting py-shell, I'm not sure how to copy the body of the
source block over to use %cpaste and also how to create a trigger for
BEGIN_SRC ipython...

Would this work? Any idea on how to implement this?

Thanks

Arun
