[IPython-dev] Display Function from with in a Function

[Cyrille Rossant]

HTML(...) will only display something if it's the last statement of a
code cell. This is because IPython always displays the result of the
last result of a cell (unless you terminate the line with a semicolon
';').

A more reliable way of displaying stuff is to use display() or
display_html(). This will work from within functions. See
http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/api/generated/IPython.display.html
for more details.
