Doesn't work w/ ipython

[andrepl]

when used from the ipython shell the outgoing requests end up looking like this:

... method: "myMethod(1,2,3)" ....

instead of:

.... params: [1,2,3], method: "myMethod" ....

it works from from the standard python shell, so this may not necessarily be a bug, but ipython is very popular and convenient, so it'd be great to support it.
