[magic-removal][patch] embed IPython shell in development server

[django@…]

This patch lets you drop into an IPython shell mid-request with the development server to play around in the local namespace. Handy for debugging and getting familiar with Django's request and response objects.

e.g.

from django.utils.shell import ipshell

def some_view(request):
    response = render_to_response(...)
    ipshell() # suspend request here and drop into IPython shell
    return response

If a call to ipshell() is left in production code a warning will be sent to
stdout and processing will continue normally.

patch to embed IPython shell in development server

[Adrian Holovaty]

This is interesting functionality, but I'm not 100% sold on its usefulness. Marking as a wontfix for now.
