I'd like to replace bash with IPython on my system, so that even files like
.profile are in Python rather than shell script.

I have some confusion on the topic, even though asking a few questions on
the matter. Here are the questions I have asked previously:

1) *How can I replace bash with Python? *
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/176091/how-can-i-replace-bash-with-python

From the answer to that question, I learned how to automatically replace
bash with IPython after log in.

2) *.profile is written in shell script -- can I get my system to
understand that I want it to execute a Python script instead?*
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/248477/profile-is-written-in-shell-script-can-i-instead-make-my-system-understand-th

From the answer to that question, I learned that .profile file is "sourced"
rather than "executed" -- that is, the lines in .profile are run one by
one, as if one were typing them into the shell.

So, my question now is: *how do I get my base system shell to be IPython,
so that it can source ".profile" scripts that have IPython magics/Python
written inside them? *For example, I'd like to write my .profile file using
IPython magics/Python.

Kind regards,
Brian
