Hi,

My current emacs setup meets most of the requirements you mentioned.  At 
present I'm not using iPython in buffers (usually I just run the script 
outside of emacs), nor does it have context help.  But it does have 
completion.  You can find it here:

http://gitorious.org/skk/dot-files-forest

Please note that this is a large git repo containing emacs setup files 
along many other things (fish, zsh, vim, etc).

Here's how to use it.

$ cd ~/

$ git clone git://gitorious.org/skk/dot-files-forest.git

# if you have a .emacs.d or .emacs you should move/rename them
$ ln -s ~/dot-files-forest/emacs  ~/.emacs.d
$ ln -s ~/dot-files-forest/emacs/emacs.el  ~/.emacs


A copy of Pymacs, rope and ropemacs is in ~/.emacs.d.  If you are 
running python 2.6, you maybe able to set PYTHONPATH:
$ export PYTHONPATH=~/.emacs.d/python/lib/python2.6/site-packages/

Otherwise you'll need to install Pymacs, rope and ropemacs. You can find 
instructions for doing so here: http://www.enigmacurry.com/category/emacs/

Also you'll want to install pyflakes for real-time syntax checking, too.

This is running Emacs 23.1 (compiled from source), with python 2.6 on 
Fedora 11.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Thanks,
