+        When a Python console starts it adopts certain display settings if they've already been set.

+        like an ipy console in terms of prompt and exception text. This method forces the Python

+        IPython does not have this problem since it always overwrites the display settings when it
+        is run. Therefore this method only needs to be called before creating a Python console.
