Description
We currently use input prompts like ordinary Python REPLs e.g. >>>
.
IPython instead uses input prompts like In [1]
. We might want to follow that convention for a few reasons:
- Some magic commands refer to cell numbers, which are currently hard to identify in Positron (via @isabelizimm)
- Stack traces may refer to cell numbers e.g.
Cell In[1], line 1
(via @isabelizimm) - We get to be more consistent with IPython
This is more of a nice-to-have so probably not very high priority for now.
IPython also labels outputs like Out [1]
but there's far less value in us following that if we already label inputs.
