[ Originally filed as http://www.reinteract.org/trac/ticket/23 ]

In http://www.reinteract.org/trac/ticket/6 Eduardo de Oliveira Padoan said:

A related note: currently, printed and returned values are indistinguishable. When this issue is fixed, one will have no way to say if a value was returned or printed by the called thing.

IPython dont have this problem:

In [1]: 1+1
Out[1]: 2

In [2]: print 1+1
2

===

Displaying the two types of output in different colors or styles might be a solution. I don't see going to the IPython style, since the natural thing to reference old results in Reinteract is not the cryptic _2, but rather to just go up, edit the line that returned the result and change it to assign it to a properly named variable.

Reinteract is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes
in early 2012: http://git.fishsoup.net/cgit/reinteract/log/

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
