Yeah, sorry about that. It's fixed in svn. Perhaps you could rename
your _ipython directory for a while and try again?

New style profiles (e.g. ipy_profile_sh.py) are normal python files
that are imported in ipython. You can easily create an egg that has
the profile as simple python module and import it in your
ipy_user_conf.py.

RC files are deprecated and only retained for backwards compatibility.
