Description

following https://python-prompt-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/2.0.5/pages/asking_for_input.html the line

text = prompt(message, style=style, true_color=True)

does not know about the true_color keyword. Also, when I use color_depth=24 instead, my ipython session dies.

Research direction

Start with the documented prompt(...) example in the linked asking-for-input page and reproduce both the true_color keyword error and the color_depth=24 failure in IPython. Compare the supported prompt arguments with the documentation; done when the documented option works or the documentation accurately reflects the supported API, and the color_depth case no longer terminates the session.
