[Python] Is it possible to display pandas styles in the IPython console?

Is it possible to display pandas styles in an iPython console? The following code in a Jupyter notebook

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

np.random.seed(24)
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': np.linspace(1, 10, 5)})
df = pd.concat([df, pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(5, 1), columns=list('B'))],
axis=1)
df.style.format({'B': "{:.2%}"})


correctly produces



In the console I only get

In [294]: df.style.format({'B': "{:.2%}"})
Out[294]: <pandas.io.formats.style.Styler at 0x22f3f4fe780>


Is it possible to achieve a similar result here, or is the style engine dependent on an html frontend?

Thanks in advance for any help.
