How to use bat for output from python interactive session / IPython

[thrivingproject]

Hi, I use IPython (IPython 9.6.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python) with ZSH, and when I type something like ?np.array, it opens less and the output is raw markdown. I'd like to get it to be formatted with bat. I installed bat and confirmed it worked by running it on a python file. The colorized output is exactly what I'm hoping to get when reading docstrings for python objects while in IPython. Any idea how I can do this?

How does IPython decide to open the Markdown in less? Is it configurable? Maybe you can set the PAGER variable to bat and IPython would honor it? Probably you'd then also want to set the BAT_PAGER variable to less so you still get paged output.
