styling prompt, {color.Normal} excepts

[kernc]

version: ipython 0.12

With my prompt set to:
c.PromptManager.in_template = '{color.LightGreen} \T {color.Normal}\Y2 {color.LightGreen}\$'
I get an AttributeError: NoColors instance has no attribute 'Normal'

But I checked:

>>> from IPython.utils.coloransi import InputTermColors
>>> InputTermColors.Normal  # color has Normal, which is supposed to reset
'\x01\x1b[0m\x02'

[minrk]

try color.normal (lowercase)

[kernc]

yup, that works! thanks. :-)
is there any documentation on this, e.g. how to use colors with the new PromptManager? because I learned it from another bug report. :-D

There's a table of things you can include here, but it doesn't include colours:

http://wiki.ipython.org/Cookbook/Dynamic_Prompt

If you want to help us get this into the documentation, that would be great.

Unfortunately, at the moment the source is the docs.

[kernc]

but why exactly is it that color.Normal (uppercase like all the rest) doesn't work? can this be fixed (i.e. made consistent)?

[minrk]

Indeed, that's just a tiny omission in NoColors. Since it's so small, I will add it to #1962

[minrk]

Check out #1962 - your prompt works correctly for me with that branch.

thanks. and I've added ipython color prompt info to the wiki.
