I do not think that's an issue at all. Presently, on the command line we
*literally* get
sage: pretty_print({1:2})
\newcommand{\Bold}[1]{\mathbf{#1}}\left\{1 : 2\right\}
I don't think that satisfies anybody's idea of "pretty" printing. If you do
the same thing in the notebook, you get a nicely mathjax typeset
expression. We can't replicate that behaviour on the command line anyway,
so going with "plain" wouldn't break anything: commandline and notebook
already behave very differently.
It is the case that
get_display_manager().preferences.text is None
holds in both at the moment, but we have that
get_display_manager()
prints as 'The Sage display manager using the IPython command line backend'
and 'The Sage display manager using the IPython notebook backend'
respectively, so they're already distinguishable. Setting different
defaults in these different cases doesn't seem like a problem to me.
