ipython pox.py 'works' as in pox starts up, but doesn't give me the
nice features of ipython like object? for object details. It also
doesn't tab complete pox objects like core.openflow.

alisonc $ ipython pox.py py openflow.of_01
POX 0.3.0 (dart) / Copyright 2011-2014 James McCauley, et al.
INFO:core:POX 0.3.0 (dart) is up.
Ready.
POX> core?
  File "<console>", line 1
    core?
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

./pox.py py --completion also doesn't tab complete stuff.

Cheers,
Alison
