Oh. I totally missed that your question was aimed at IPython.
In that case, I simply don't know.


I don't think a printing solution tied to ipython would be acceptable in the
current sympy setup. [Mainly because sympy strives to be pure-python, in
principle.]

That's a good reminder, thank you.  I've just got too used to using
isympy.


Oh, I use it all the time too. But that does not change anything :).

What about rolling our own platform-aware escape sequences? The only printer
I would think needs boldface is "pretty", and there we deal with various
available unicode characters etc already. So it would seem a sensible place
to add more platform-dependent stuff.

That sounds quite reasonable, if a use-case is brought about which is
not already addressed by what Stefan said.


Well, I had assumed you had a use-case in mind ;).

The poor man's solution would be to stuff in the control sequences
which work in the majority of Linux terminals and just do nothing when
a different type of terminal is detected.


To be clear: if this improves the output in the majority of cases, I think it is a very reasonable solution.
