IPython is an excellent text-mode shell, in my opinion, and might be
easy to add support for it if it's installed on the user's system.

Not that it is a high priority at the moment, but I also wonder if it
could be integrated into the Twisted reactor so that even if a GUI
and/or services were running, IPython would be just another "service"
running on stdin/out/err.
