We have a number of virtualbox host servers and use the SDK's vboxshell for some management tasks. However, unlike most shells, it does not set the prompt to the hostname, which can lead to plenty of production/dev confusion accidents.
The following patch defaults the prompt to the machine's hostname, is cross-platform, and the only import it adds is part of the Python Standard Library, so it does not add additional dependencies.
