ipython Sphinx directive executes code when excluded by only, ifconfig

[cgranade]

The ipython directive for Sphinx provided by IPython.sphinxext.ipython_directive executes its code block at the parsing stage. As a result, even if an ipython directive is surrounded by an only or ifconfig directive with a false-y condition, the code block is still executed. I have posted a minimum working example for this issue that includes a Sphinx configuration file and a reStructuredText file to reproduce the problem.

Ping @chebee7i and @y-p who have worked on the IPython sphinx directive.

Confirmed. Not surprising however, I don't think the ipython_directive was written with those use cases in mind. Haven't yet had a chance to look into how much work would be involved to fix this.
