> `is_in_ipython` determines if current code execution is within an IPython environment by attempting to fetch an IPython kernel through `IPython.get_ipython()`.
> If IPython dependency is not available or a `None` is fetched, the result would be False.
> We've been seeing some users using corrupted IPython dependency in their code base.
> If an IPython dependency is present but throws a non ImportError exception, it will break the Beam usage.
> I assume the similar errors would happen if the user uses an IPython dependency outside the range of versions in setup.py.
> I decide to make the function best effort so that it always returns False when errors occur.
