Just to clarify for future inquiries:

To set ipython to be the default:

Python honors the environment variable PYTHONSTARTUP and will execute
   at startup the file referenced by this variable. If you put at the
end     of this file the following two lines of code:    import
IPython      IPython.Shell.IPShell().mainloop(sys_exit=1)

Or you can obviously just type it into eric's shell console after start-up.
