[IPython-dev] Logging output garbled

[Dave Hirschfeld]

The following (expected) exception in my console:

In [26]: rc[2].get('x')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<string> in <module>()
c:\dev\code\ipython\IPython\parallel\util.py in _pull(keys)
    243         return map(lambda key: eval(key, globals()), keys)
    244     else:
--> 245         return eval(keys, globals())
    246 
    247 @interactive
<string> in <module>()
NameError: name 'x' is not defined


...gets logged by the engine as follows:

I assume the mess are ansi escape codes? They do make it slightly hard to 
debug problems using the logs (which are very useful) so I'm wondering if 
there is a way to prevent this happening?

Thanks,
