Can't pd.options.display.max_columns = 0 by default?
See original GitHub issuepd.options.display.max_columns is 20 by default, but when running in a terminal this value could be auto-detected by setting it to 0. I know that this setting can be customized, but for the average user it would be much more convenient if there was no extra step involved. Is there a way to detect if pandas is running in a terminal (where autodetection works)? If so, the value should be set to 0. Otherwise, for example in Jupyter notebooks, it could remain to be 20.

I usually set the max columns to 0 in my IPython init. I think it would be ok to change the default.
Do we still run into issues where we can’t reliably detect the terminal width, or have those all been fixed?
Regarding the detection of the terminal width, I think it doesn’t work in PyCharm’s integrated terminal. However, the default of 80 is a reasonable value in this case.
