# This is a simple little module I wrote to make life easier. I didn't
# see anything quite like it in the library, though I may have overlooked
# something. I wrote this when I was trying to read some heavily nested
# tuples with fairly non-descriptive content. This is modelled very much
# after Lisp/Scheme - style pretty-printing of lists. If you find it
# useful, thank small children who sleep at night.
"""Support to pretty-print lists, tuples, & dictionaries recursively.
Very simple, but useful, especially in debugging data structures.
Constants
---------
INDENT_PER_LEVEL
Amount of indentation to use for each new recursive level. The
default is 1. This must be a non-negative integer, and may be set
by the caller before calling pprint().
MAX_WIDTH
Maximum width of the display. This is only used if the
representation *can* be kept less than MAX_WIDTH characters wide.
May be set by the user before calling pprint() if needed.
"""

MAX_WIDTH = 80

The representation is returned with no trailing newline.

"""Pretty-print a list, tuple, or dictionary.
seq
List, tuple, or dictionary object to be pretty-printed. Other
object types are permitted by are not specially interpreted.
stream
Output stream. If not provided, `sys.stdout' is used. This
parameter must support the `write()' method with a single
parameter, which will always be a string. It may be a
`StringIO.StringIO' object if the result is needed as a
string.
Indentation is done according to `INDENT_PER_LEVEL', which may be
set to any non-negative integer before calling this function. The
output written on the stream is a perfectly valid representation
of the Python object passed in, with indentation to assist
human-readable interpretation. The output can be used as input
without error, given readable representations of all elements are
available via `repr()'. Output is restricted to `MAX_WIDTH'
columns where possible.
