+        * IPython/Shell.py: Call QtCore.pyqtRemoveInputHook() when creating
+        an IPShellQt4. PyQt4-4.2.1 and later uses PyOS_InputHook to improve 
+        interaction in the interpreter (like Tkinter does), but it seems to 
+        partially interfere with the IPython implementation and exec_()
+        still seems to block. So we disable the PyQt implementation and
+        stick with the IPython one for now.
