as Min and Thomas said, that's the default behavior now, in 0.11.  If
you're on ipython 0.10, simply add '-n':

In [3]: hist
1: 3+4
2:
for i in range(3):
    print i,


3: _ip.magic("hist ")

In [4]: hist -n
3+4
for i in range(3):
    print i,


_ip.magic("hist ")
_ip.magic("hist -n")


We flipped that default around because the 'no numbers' case is
arguably the more useful one.

In general, for any ipython magic simply use '?' to get more help:

hist?

will show you the relevant options.

Best,
