Yes, can't but agree, but how essential are colours and boldface for debugging purposes? As far as my initial question was concerned, Stefan's pointing out IPython Notebooks gave me a sufficient answer. When the new IPython will have been released, it would be very easy to have very fancy LaTeX printing, thus playing around with producing boldface type in terminal doesn't seem worthwhile for *my* goals. There may be a different, more important use case though. > In my rewrite of the GA code I have the console setup to print the > multivector bases in bold, function coefficients in red, and derivative > operators in green. Wow, sounds great! In case I eventually do get at implementing this SymPy-wide, could you please tell me where I can find your rewrite?
