#91169 — Setting prompt in ipython

In bash I have:
    \[\e[1m\][\D{%a, %d %b %T} \u@\h:\w]\n$ \[\e[0m\]
which gives me the following prompt:
    [Sun, 24 May 12:23:45 cecil@Equus:~]
    $

I want to have a similar prompt in ipython. At the moment I have come
to:
    %config PromptManager.in_template = r'[\T \u@\h:\Y1]\n\#> '
which gives:
    [12:51:32 cecil@Equus:startup]
    14> 


But how do I get weekday, day-number and short month into my prompt?

This file supposedly lists what you can customise your ipython prompt
to show.  I have not tried this myself.

I will look into it.

I use the following in ~/.ipython/profile_default/startup/00-init.ipy:
    import time

    %config PromptManager.in_template = r'[{time.strftime("%a, %d %b %T")} \u@\h:\Y1]\nIn [\#]: '

Now I should contemplate what other things would be useful there. ;-)

One of the major warts that (i)Python has yet to address via a PEP is 
that it fails dismally when it comes to making the coffee and sandwiches 
to keep you going whilst using it.  Perhaps you'd like to look into this 
issue?  I'm not aware of anything on the bug tracker about it.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.

Oh, automated coffee management doesn't need a PEP. Just create a
PyCoffee module, upload it to PyPI, and see how many cups get
downloaded.
