How to interface with blender using IPython from terminal? Is there any way to interface with blender using IPython in blender 2.68? I have tried many many options over the past couple of days and none of them have worked for me...

The best option for me would be if I could use IPython in the terminal I initiated blender with. 

I have tried using IPython.embed with no success, and I also have tried this, but I can't get it to work with blender 2.68a.

Perhaps there is a way to start an instance of blender from within an IPython session?
For anyone coming upon this question in 2020, I had a similar want and wanted to use Blender from a Jupyter Notebook.

I made a Jupyter Kernel to do this for Blender 2.8 here. It uses asyncio so the Blender UI is not locked when using the kernel.
