Cookbook: IPython and Emacs

I found this which got me up and running with IPython integrated nicely into emacs 23.

http://lists.ipython.scipy.org/pipermail/ipython-user/2008-September/005791.html

my python integration is now like this:

(setq load-path
      (append (list nil
                    "~/.emacs.d/python-mode-1.0/"
		    "~/.emacs.d/pymacs/"
		    "~/.emacs.d/ropemacs-0.6"
                    )
              load-path))

(require 'ipython)
(setq py-python-command-args '( "-colors" "Linux"))

(defadvice py-execute-buffer (around python-keep-focus activate)
  "return focus to python code buffer"
  (save-excursion ad-do-it))

(setenv "PYMACS_PYTHON" "python2.5") 
(require 'pymacs)

(pymacs-load "ropemacs" "rope-")

(provide 'python-programming)

Note the defadvice to return focus to the python buffer you py-execute-buffer from: it does not work. Can anyone explain why not?
