# 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().
|
|
|
|
TAB_WIDTH
|
|
The width represented by a single tab. This value is typically 8,
|
|
but 4 is the default under MacOS. Can be changed by the user if
|
|
desired, but is probably not a good idea.

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.
