After some more searching I found quite a long thread on this same issue. Sorry I didn't find it earlier.
Looks like the best solution is to have ipython running in a terminal when I need to perform tasks such as this. I know this is may be a repeat, but it would be great if eric could integrate ipython somehow. It may not even be possible, that's for people much smarter than I.
