IPython, the terminal interface, still works the way it used to: you should
be able to use your profile there. I don't think we ship a sympy profile
any more (I had forgotten we ever did that), but if you work out the
configuration it needs, you should be able to make a profile with 'ipython
profile create sympy', and modify the config file it creates.

The IPython frontends which talk to a kernel (the notebook, qtconsole and
two-process terminal console) all became Jupyter applications, so they
don't directly support profiles.

Sympy has some functions you can call at the start of a session to set up
some amount of integration:
http://docs.sympy.org/latest/tutorial/printing.html#setting-up-pretty-printing

We recommend this kind of approach for use in notebooks particularly,
because notebooks which rely on things configured on your computer won't be
easily runnable for anyone without that config.

But if that's not enough for you, and you have your sympy profile set up,
you can create a dedicated sympy kernel which will launch IPython with your
sympy profile. You'll need to install a kernelspec (
http://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/install/kernel_install.html), and
then manually modify the kernel.json file to add --profile sympy to the
argv.

Best wishes,
Thomas
