""" Use pretty.py for configurable pretty-printing.
Register pretty-printers for types using ipy_pretty.for_type() or
ipy_pretty.for_type_by_name(). For example, to use the example pretty-printer
for numpy dtype objects, add the following to your ipy_user_conf.py::
from IPython.Extensions import ipy_pretty
ipy_pretty.activate()
# If you want to have numpy always imported anyways:
import numpy
ipy_pretty.for_type(numpy.dtype, ipy_pretty.dtype_pprinter)
# If you don't want to have numpy imported until it needs to be:
ipy_pretty.for_type_by_name('numpy', 'dtype', ipy_pretty.dtype_pprinter)
