feature request: ptpython extra

[carlwgeorge]

I would love to see an integration for ptpython. Other people are interested too.

I looked into the code in ptpython that prints evaluated values in the REPL. It's not very feasible to inject prettyprinter there right now. I left a comment about that in the issue you linked to (prompt-toolkit/ptpython#153 (comment)).

If you or someone else were to create a PR to ptpython to make the integration feasible, it shouldn't be too hard to provide the integration on the prettyprinter side. A minimum would be to have a single method on the ptpython.repl.PythonRepl class that handles printing the evaluated value, so that prettyprinter could monkeypatch that method with its own. A nicer integration would be through a configurable hook as a part of the ptpython public API.
