How to make ipython default when you run python if ipython is installed?

I am looking for a make bash profile trick to make ipython default when you run python from the command line, obvioulsly without damaging normal python script executon.

Is this possible, how?

Here's the recommended approach from the IPython documentation. I don't have any opinion on running scripts using this though.

possible , may be , dangerous also... i think that's not a good idea, but, if you are on linux , you can use alias:

alias python="ipython"

put it , in your ~/.bash_rc for exemple

Create an alias in the .bashrc file:

alias python='ipython'
