Thanks all I really need is a quick work around but it is always nice to discuss these things. Also this class decorator seems to do the job for ipython although it does change the construction syntax a little and is probablty overkill. No doubt the readers of this list can improve it somewhat as well. import logging _logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) from collections import namedtuple def make_ipython_friendly(namedtuple_class): """A class decorator to make namedtuples more ipython friendly.
