How to launch IPython while showing line numbers at the prompt?

Multi tool use
I launch IPython in a script via: start_ipython(config=cfg)
. cfg
currently consists of modifications to HistoryAccessor.hist_file
, InteractiveShell.banner1
... but I can't find anything in the documentation which relates to line numbers at the prompt. Currently, the prompt appears without line numbers as shown. IPython 7.2.0
If I run IPython from the command line (as opposed to from the above script), the line numbers appear as expected

In the second caseIPython
is processing the input and output; it's the interactive shell. In the first case,IPython
is a module that you've imported. Input/output (the REPL loop) is still the basic python one. You can access someIPython
functions withIPython....
syntax, just as you would with any other imported module, but it isn't acting as an interactive shell.

@hpaulj Perhaps I wasn't clear from the example. The prompt>>>
was after I had already runstart_ipython
. I only got>>>
and no lines numbers. (The textimport IPython
was simply for purposes of the screenshot so I could print out the version of IPython being used).
