Description

When using bpython console, output of print(sum_numpy_array) is truncated to a line width of ~70 characters, regardless of the value set by numpy.set_printoptions(linewidth=<n_chars>). (Probably truncating to 75 characters, per the default value)

Reproduction

import numpy as np
my_array = np.random.rand(10,10)
print(my_array)  # Default width
np.set_printoptions(linewidth=500)  # Significantly increase width
print(my_array)  # See if width has changed

Output using bpython console

Launching the console with

bpython

and running the above commands, the final output stays the same width, e.g.,

Additional context

This seems specific to the numpy set_printoptions function.
If I print a long string in the bpython console, it does not truncate at ~70 characters like the numpy array:

>>> print('x'*100)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
