Ipython not displaying image

Question

I've just started using Ipython/Jupyter notebook and i am following this tutorial http://chrisalbon.com/jupyter/ipython_display_image.html

I opened Ipython on my terminal and wrote

from IPython.display import Image
from IPython.display import display
display(Image(url='http://history.nasa.gov/ap11ann/kippsphotos/5903.jpg'))

All I'm getting is: IPython.core.display.Image at 0x7fc0ab9d23d0

How do I see the image? Thanks for you help!

@manu190466 That's the point: Many examples don't make it clear that this is simply not supported from an IPython.embed(). It's confusing especially when coming from matplotlib, which works just fine from a terminal. No need to downvote, it's a perfectly valid question. — bluenote10

Your code is correct, but you need to run it inside Jupyter

I was also expecting that this would work from withing a terminal / IPython.embed().

The documentation of IPython.display makes it clear though that this is not supported:

Display a Python object in all frontends.

By default all representations will be computed and sent to the frontends. Frontends can decide which representation is used and how.

In terminal IPython this will be similar to using :func:print, for use in richer frontends see Jupyter notebook examples with rich display logic.
