Partly. In addition, the -pylab mode sets up a separate thread for plotting so that the command line remains active. This is not needed for every backend. (It also does "from pylab import *" so you get everything from the pyplot and numpy namespaces.) For interactive work and for debugging scripts and modules, "ipython -pylab" is highly recommended. Use the ipython "run" command to run scripts and modules for testing.
