New issue 3914 by [email protected]: Prefer init_printing() to %load_ext sympy.interactive.ipythonprinting
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=3914

The IPython printing extension exists as an extension for historical purposes, but it would be better to use init_printing(), which works exactly the same way, but also works outside of IPython. This way we can unify our documentation, and remove ambiguity. Plus, init_printing lets you customize the behavior, so you can, for example, choose to use png printing with real LaTeX in the notebook instead of MathJax.

Also, we will eventually make this automatic in IPython anyway (issue 3904), so its primary use will be if you do want to customize it, or use it outside IPython.

For the even older extension that also imports stuff, use init_session, which imports everything, defines common symbols, and initializes printing.
