Remember that the use-case here is that only the last pyout output is
displayed, so it seems perfectly reasonable for the displayhook to delay
sending until after the cell is executed. This is not the use-case
where we want interactive pyout output from every command.
The one case where I see a possible problem is when you have something like:
a=1
a
print "done"
Then I suppose the pyout output would either be the pyout of a, or the
pyout "None" (I don't know offhand which it would be). If it was the
pyout of a, then the pyout would be sent after the printed stdout
output, which would seem weird.
Thanks,
Jason
