In pdb/ipdb debugging, the useful interact command gives me a fully featured interactive Python console.
However, this appears to always be the "standard" Python console, even if I use ipdb to begin with. Is there a way to configure ipdb such that interact will give me the IPython console, rather than the standard Python one? Interestingly, I do get the IPython style prompt, but I don't get to use IPython magic such as %whos:
In [24]: 1/0

Is there a way to get ipdbs interact to give me the fully featured IPython console?

You start IPython by typing “ipython” in your terminal. $ ipython Python 2.7.
The ease of use of Python and its dynamic nature make it a very productive language. IPython is an interactive command-line terminal for Python. It was created by Fernando Perez in 2001. IPython offers an enhanced read-eval-print loop (REPL) environment particularly well adapted to scientific computing.
The IPython Console allows you to execute commands and interact with data inside IPython interpreters. To launch a new IPython instance, go to New console (default settings) under the Consoles menu, or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl - T ( Cmd - T on macOS) when the console is focused.
You can use run command in the input prompt to run a Python script. The run command is actually line magic command and should actually be written as %run. However, the %automagic mode is always on by default, so you can omit this.
In .pdbrc:
