I have c.TerminalInteractiveShell.editor = 'emacsclient' in ~/.config/ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py and it works.

If you have trouble finding config location, use ipython locate profile command: http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/rel-0.13/whatsnew/version0.13.html#new-top-level-locate-command
