Hi all,

Is there a sane way to know if some code is executing in a rich display
environment like the qtconsole or the notebook?

I think the following could work:

try:
    from ipykernel.zmqshell import ZMQInteractiveShell
    ip = get_ipython()
    rich_display = isinstance(ip, ZMQInteractiveShell)
except:
    rich_display = False

Thanks!!

Best.
