The documentation (http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/stable/interactive/shell.html) says to use 'ipython -p sh' to invoke ipython for use as a system shell; however, doing so gives the following error message:

[TerminalIPythonApp] Bad config encountered during initialization:
[TerminalIPythonApp] Unrecognized flag: '-p'
