Quantity defaults to latex output in ipython (Spyder), which is unreadable
See original GitHub issueEDIT: Workaround found at https://github.com/astropy/astropy/issues/11209#issuecomment-754329578
Starting Spyder, and typing anything along the following lines into the ipython console…
>>>from astropy import units as u
>>>1 * u.K
…produces unreadable garbage because it defaults to Latex, which manifests as poorly-rendered white outlines on a black background. To add insult to injury, the rendering takes approximately 1 second.
The “workaround” is to write e.g. “str(1 * u.K)”, but that’s unacceptable because it becomes very tedious very quickly when examining numerous quantities.
After extensive searching I cannot find any way to control the default behaviour.
