[IPython-dev] [IPython 5] [Docs] Custom Terminal Prompts

[Carl Smith]

No problem at all, Fernando.

I did have a go at it based on the code Thomas pointed to, but couldn't
figure out how to use the reference to `self.shell.execution_count`. When
it's used directly, as it is in the IPython source (passed through `str`),
you end up with something like this:

    In [<traitlets.traitlets.Int at 0x104800b70>]:

Using the `default_value` and `default_value_repr` methods, gives you the
number, but it was always `1`, no matter what the actual input number was.

I'll have another go at it soon, and am happy to add something to the docs
once I figure it out, but just switched to using tmux and the ne editor
this week too, so have a ton of little things to figure out and configure
at the moment.

Best,
