I love IPython: it's definitely worth it if you want to regularly use a REPL to explore things like your Django objects, filter for things, or test scripts with test data. I really like it for exploring a codebase which I am not 100% familiar with, as its tab completion is excellent.
Run it with ipython --pprint though, so you get automatic pretty printing. I also recommend using the qtconsole plugin , as it is Much Nicer.
Basically, if you like bpython, this is better in every way I can think of. If you like the plain python REPL, give this a shot anyway. :) You may be pleasantly surprised.
