Python: module pprint

pprint

Support to pretty-print lists, tuples, & dictionaries recursively. Very simple, but useful, especially in debugging data structures. Classes ------- PrettyPrinter() Handle pretty-printing operations onto a stream using a configured set of formatting parameters. Functions --------- pformat() Format a Python object into a pretty-printed representation. pprint() Pretty-print a Python object to a stream [default is sys.sydout]. saferepr() Generate a 'standard' repr()-like value, but protect against recursive data structures.

Methods defined here:

_PrettyPrinter__format = __format(self, object, stream, indent, allowance, context, level)

_PrettyPrinter__repr = __repr(self, object, context, level)

__init__(self, indent=1, width=80, depth=None, stream=None): Handle pretty printing operations onto a stream using a set of configured parameters. indent Number of spaces to indent for each level of nesting. width Attempted maximum number of columns in the output. depth The maximum depth to print out nested structures. stream The desired output stream. If omitted (or false), the standard output stream available at construction will be used.

isreadable(self, object)

isrecursive(self, object)

pformat(self, object)

pprint(self, object)

Functions

StringIO(...): StringIO([s]) -- Return a StringIO-like stream for reading or writing

_commajoin = join(...): S.join(sequence) -> string Return a string which is the concatenation of the strings in the sequence. The separator between elements is S.

_id = id(...): id(object) -> integer Return the identity of an object. This is guaranteed to be unique among simultaneously existing objects. (Hint: it's the object's memory address.)

_len = len(...): len(object) -> integer Return the number of items of a sequence or mapping.

_perfcheck(object=None)

_recursion(object)

_safe_repr(object, context, maxlevels, level)

isreadable(object): Determine if saferepr(object) is readable by eval().

isrecursive(object): Determine if object requires a recursive representation.

pformat(object): Format a Python object into a pretty-printed representation.

pprint(object, stream=None): Pretty-print a Python object to a stream [default is sys.sydout].

saferepr(object): Version of repr() which can handle recursive data structures.
