Description

In pins for R, we have pretty comprehensive messages for interactive use, like showing users what server they are connected to, what the full qualified name of the pin turned out to be, etc:

library(pins)
b <- board_rsconnect()
#> Connecting to RSC 2022.09.0 at <https://colorado.rstudio.com/rsc>
b %>% pin_write(1:10, "test-test-test")
#> Guessing `type = 'rds'`
#> Writing to pin 'julia.silge/test-test-test'

Created on 2022-10-27 with reprex v2.0.2

These messages are a "nice to have" and would give Python users a more similar experience to R users.

Research direction

No implementation file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the Python paths for interactive board connections and pin writes, then compare their user-facing behavior with the R examples in the issue. Done means the relevant Python operations provide comparable connection, pin-name, and type-selection messages.
