{"comment":{"created_at":"2011-10-07T21:54:32Z","body":"Hey @minrk, what do you think of the background styling idea?  I was actually just using the notebook and also noticed that if you have a cell like\r\n\r\n<pre>\r\nx, y = 32, 42\r\nprint x\r\nprint y\r\n32\r\n34\r\n</pre>\r\n\r\nthe printed statements look indistinguishable from the input code.  If there are `Out` results, the prompt gives a visual clue, but if they are only print statements, there's zero visual cueing.  I was thinking whether to perhaps following the idea of shading the bacgrounds with a bit of CSS, using something like a faint blue for stdout and a faint red for stderr.  Regular Out (just like regular In areas) would remain white.  I don't know if in practice we'll find it distracting or not without trying, but it seems to me that we should help users visually disentangle things that are all logically distinct (at least stdout/stderr/other, leaving white for Out and fancy display results).\r\n\r\nWhat do you think?","updated_at":"2011-10-07T21:54:32Z","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ipython/ipython/issues/comments/2328876","id":2328876,"user":{"avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/95198572b00e5fbcd97fb5315215bf7a?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png","url":"https://api.github.com/users/fperez","id":57394,"login":"fperez"}},"action":"created","issue":{"number":830,"created_at":"2011-10-01T00:13:07Z","pull_request":{"diff_url":"https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/830.diff","patch_url":"https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/830.patch","html_url":"https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/830"},"body":"See #829\r\n\r\nPreviously stdout and stderr were perfectly indistinguishable (logically as well as aesthetically), so this also adds that distinction - I will happily rollback the aesthetic distinction, but I think the logical distinction is important.\r\n\r\nNow you can do:\r\n\r\n```python\r\nfor i in range(10):\r\n    print i,\r\n    sys.stdout.flush()\r\n```\r\n\r\nAnd you will get your elements on a single line.","comments":3,"title":"contiguous stdout/stderr in notebook","updated_at":"2011-10-07T21:54:33Z","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ipython/ipython/issues/830","id":1790140,"assignee":null,"milestone":null,"closed_at":null,"user":{"avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d5b897c37001627c2e3ad3c1e8a7e6fb?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png","url":"https://api.github.com/users/minrk","id":151929,"login":"minrk"},"html_url":"https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/830","labels":[],"state":"open"},"legacy":{"issue_id":1790140,"comment_id":2328876}}
