What i mean is, there is no point in requiring the mechanism for
`ipython`. Most (maybe not all) cases are like this.
> Let me repeat this: By special-casing `ipython` you are achieving
absolutely nothing: the "hack" in `sage-location` still exists and you're
just fooling the doctest.
there's a proper doctest in #15146, that does not rely on a wrong ipython
installation.
> A proper fix for the "hack" would fix all Python scripts, not just this
one.
Yes.
> What's the point of this special case?
I cannot fix all at once. But before the line has been merged, I will
certainly not paste it into the other `spkg-install` files.
