''' 'Generic' functions for extending IPython
See http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/simplegeneric
Here's an example from genutils.py:
def print_lsstring(arg):
""" Prettier (non-repr-like) and more informative printer for LSString """
print "LSString (.p, .n, .l, .s available). Value:"
print arg
print_lsstring = result_display.when_type(LSString)(print_lsstring)
(Yes, the nasty syntax is for python 2.3 compatibility. Your own extensions
can use the niftier decorator syntax)

def result_display(result):
""" print the result of computation """
raise TryNext
result_display = generic(result_display)
def inspect_object(obj):
""" Called when you do obj? """
