Comment:

 Ahh, you want to call get_task_result like this:

 d = client.get_task_result(id, block=True)

 Now d is a deferred that will fire with the actual result (not None):

 block=False -> the underlying method won't block for the result if it is
 not ready, instead, it will just return None
 block=True  -> return a deferred to the actual result - ie, the deferred
 will "block" for the result.

 I know this language is a little confusing as there is not really any true
 blocking going on with deferred.

 Also, are you using the version of ipython1 from svn or the new bzr
 branch?
