You can get some of the way already.  Personally, I don't see the need
of a ipython block as I see IPython as an interpreter.

You could still use python source blocks for this.

For python.el I use :

  (setq python-shell-interpreter "ipython"
        ;; org mode seems to work better with classic mode. . .
        python-shell-interpreter-args "--classic --no-banner"
        python-shell-completion-setup-code
        "from IPython.core.completerlib import module_completion"
        python-shell-completion-module-string-code
        "';'.join(module_completion('''%s'''))\n"
        python-shell-completion-string-code
        "';'.join(get_ipython().Completer.all_completions('''%s'''))\n")


For Org you could do: 

  (setq org-babel-python-command "ipython --no-banner --classic --no-confirm-exit")

You should now be able to do

#+BEGIN_SRC python :results output
%timeit 1+1
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: >>> 10000000 loops, best of 3: 31.5 ns per loop
: >>>
