Looks cool!  I hope this will stop our use of two or three different
styles for Python code in the docs (doctest-compatible vs.
source-file-style vs. copy-paste-ready) and ultimately help make them
doctest-compatible.

> +$(document).ready(function() {

I think it would be more user-friendly if the button/trigger would use
real English text like “Hide prompts”/“Show prompts” rather than symbols.

Cheers
