PEP: 217
Title: Display Hook for Interactive Use

Abstract
Python's interactive mode is one of the implementation's great
strengths -- being able to write expressions on the command line
and get back a meaningful output. However, the output function
cannot be all things to all people, and the current output
function too often falls short of this goal. This PEP describes a
way to provides alternatives to the built-in display function in
Python, so users will have control over the output from the
interactive interpreter.
