Actually, the basic code seems to be pretty simple. In character mode,
pretty much everything is mapped to term-send-raw, which is just a
wrapper around process-send-string. But what's more complex is the fact
that ipython (for instance) reacts to special strings (for instance,
tab, C-p, C-p ...) in a more complex way than just outputting something,
which comint doesn't seem to understand. In the end, that's probably the
difference between an input/output interface like comint and a real
terminal emulator like term. So the solution (for what I want to do
anyway) might be to run python inside term, and rewrite the shell
interaction code to send to term instead of comint.
