We can reach inside IPython and put another formatter in place for "type" and "classobj" objects:
sage: type(1) sage.rings.integer.Integer sage: import IPython sage: self=sys.displayhook.shell.display_formatter.formatters[u'text/ plain'] sage: T=[k for k,v in self.type_printers.items() if v is IPython.lib.pretty._type_pprint] sage: T # [<type 'type'>, <type 'classobj'>] [type, classobj] sage: self.type_printers[type]=IPython.lib.pretty._repr_pprint sage: type(1) <type 'sage.rings.integer.Integer'> Note that "self" here is a sage.misc.sage_extension.SagePlainTextFormatter, so we can also solve this problem ourselves. In fact, its __call__ first tries sage.misc.displayhook.format_obj before deferring to IPython's standard method, so if we special case "type" there, we can avoid reaching into the "formatter" list. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
