There is no 'right way' to do this, because the question is in a sense
ill-posed, given the design of IPython: any given IPython kernel can be
*simultaneously* connected to a notebook, a Qt console and a text console
(or more than one).
So a python process can't really answer 'am I in a Qt console?', since the
answer can be simultaneously yes, no, or both, and it can change at any
point in time during the life of the process (since clients can connect and
disconnect).
