:mod:`pprint` --- Data pretty printer
|
||||
=====================================
|
||||
|
||||
.. module:: pprint
|
||||
:synopsis: Data pretty printer.

|
||||
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/pprint.py`
|
||||
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
The :mod:`pprint` module provides a capability to "pretty-print" arbitrary
|
||||
Python data structures in a form which can be used as input to the interpreter.
|
||||
If the formatted structures include objects which are not fundamental Python
|
||||
types, the representation may not be loadable. This may be the case if objects
|
||||
such as files, sockets or classes are included, as well as many other
|
||||
objects which are not representable as Python literals.
|
||||
|
||||
The formatted representation keeps objects on a single line if it can, and
|
||||
breaks them onto multiple lines if they don't fit within the allowed width.
|
||||
Construct :class:`PrettyPrinter` objects explicitly if you need to adjust the
|
||||
width constraint.
|
||||
|
||||
Dictionaries are sorted by key before the display is computed.
|
||||
|
||||
The :mod:`pprint` module defines one class:
|
||||
|
||||
.. First the implementation class:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. index:: single: ...; placeholder
|
||||
|
||||
.. class:: PrettyPrinter(indent=1, width=80, depth=None, stream=None, *, \
|
||||
compact=False)
|
||||
|
||||
Construct a :class:`PrettyPrinter` instance. This constructor understands
|
||||
several keyword parameters. An output stream may be set using the *stream*
|
||||
keyword; the only method used on the stream object is the file protocol's
|
||||
:meth:`write` method. If not specified, the :class:`PrettyPrinter` adopts
|
||||
``sys.stdout``. The
|
||||
amount of indentation added for each recursive level is specified by *indent*;
|
||||
the default is one. Other values can cause output to look a little odd, but can
|
||||
make nesting easier to spot. The number of levels which may be printed is
|
||||
controlled by *depth*; if the data structure being printed is too deep, the next
|
||||
contained level is replaced by ``...``. By default, there is no constraint on
|
||||
the depth of the objects being formatted. The desired output width is
|
||||
constrained using the *width* parameter; the default is 80 characters. If a
|
||||
structure cannot be formatted within the constrained width, a best effort will
|
||||
be made. If *compact* is false (the default) each item of a long sequence
|
||||
will be formatted on a separate line. If *compact* is true, as many items
|
||||
as will fit within the *width* will be formatted on each output line.
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionchanged:: 3.4
|
||||
Added the *compact* parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
>>> import pprint
|
||||
>>> stuff = ['spam', 'eggs', 'lumberjack', 'knights', 'ni']
|
||||
>>> stuff.insert(0, stuff[:])
|
||||
>>> pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)
|
||||
>>> pp.pprint(stuff)
|
||||
[ ['spam', 'eggs', 'lumberjack', 'knights', 'ni'],
|
||||
'spam',
|
||||
'eggs',
|
||||
'lumberjack',
|
||||
'knights',
|
||||
'ni']
|
||||
>>> pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(width=41, compact=True)
|
||||
>>> pp.pprint(stuff)
|
||||
[['spam', 'eggs', 'lumberjack',
|
||||
'knights', 'ni'],
|
||||
'spam', 'eggs', 'lumberjack', 'knights',
|
||||
'ni']
|
||||
>>> tup = ('spam', ('eggs', ('lumberjack', ('knights', ('ni', ('dead',
|
||||
... ('parrot', ('fresh fruit',))))))))
|
||||
>>> pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(depth=6)
|
||||
>>> pp.pprint(tup)
|
||||
('spam', ('eggs', ('lumberjack', ('knights', ('ni', ('dead', (...)))))))
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The :mod:`pprint` module also provides several shortcut functions:
|
||||
|
||||
.. function:: pformat(object, indent=1, width=80, depth=None, *, compact=False)
|
||||
|
||||
Return the formatted representation of *object* as a string. *indent*,
|
||||
*width*, *depth* and *compact* will be passed to the :class:`PrettyPrinter`
|
||||
constructor as formatting parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionchanged:: 3.4
|
||||
Added the *compact* parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. function:: pprint(object, stream=None, indent=1, width=80, depth=None, *, \
|
||||
compact=False)
|
||||
|
||||
Prints the formatted representation of *object* on *stream*, followed by a
|
||||
newline. If *stream* is ``None``, ``sys.stdout`` is used. This may be used
|
||||
in the interactive interpreter instead of the :func:`print` function for
|
||||
inspecting values (you can even reassign ``print = pprint.pprint`` for use
|
||||
within a scope). *indent*, *width*, *depth* and *compact* will be passed
|
||||
to the :class:`PrettyPrinter` constructor as formatting parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionchanged:: 3.4
|
||||
Added the *compact* parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
>>> import pprint
|
||||
>>> stuff = ['spam', 'eggs', 'lumberjack', 'knights', 'ni']
|
||||
>>> stuff.insert(0, stuff)
|
||||
>>> pprint.pprint(stuff)
|
||||
[<Recursion on list with id=...>,
|
||||
'spam',
|
||||
'eggs',
|
||||
'lumberjack',
|
||||
'knights',
|
||||
'ni']
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. function:: isreadable(object)
|
||||
|
||||
.. index:: builtin: eval
|
||||
|
||||
Determine if the formatted representation of *object* is "readable," or can be
|
||||
used to reconstruct the value using :func:`eval`. This always returns ``False``
|
||||
for recursive objects.
|
||||
|
||||
>>> pprint.isreadable(stuff)
|
||||
False
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. function:: isrecursive(object)
|
||||
|
||||
Determine if *object* requires a recursive representation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
One more support function is also defined:
|
||||
|
||||
.. function:: saferepr(object)
|
||||
|
||||
Return a string representation of *object*, protected against recursive data
|
||||
structures. If the representation of *object* exposes a recursive entry, the
|
||||
recursive reference will be represented as ``<Recursion on typename with
|
||||
id=number>``. The representation is not otherwise formatted.
|
||||
|
||||
>>> pprint.saferepr(stuff)
|
||||
"[<Recursion on list with id=...>, 'spam', 'eggs', 'lumberjack', 'knights', 'ni']"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. _prettyprinter-objects:
|
||||
|
||||
PrettyPrinter Objects
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
:class:`PrettyPrinter` instances have the following methods:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PrettyPrinter.pformat(object)
|
||||
|
||||
Return the formatted representation of *object*. This takes into account the
|
||||
options passed to the :class:`PrettyPrinter` constructor.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PrettyPrinter.pprint(object)
|
||||
|
||||
Print the formatted representation of *object* on the configured stream,
|
||||
followed by a newline.
|
||||
|
||||
The following methods provide the implementations for the corresponding
|
||||
functions of the same names. Using these methods on an instance is slightly
|
||||
more efficient since new :class:`PrettyPrinter` objects don't need to be
|
||||
created.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PrettyPrinter.isreadable(object)
|
||||
|
||||
.. index:: builtin: eval
|
||||
|
||||
Determine if the formatted representation of the object is "readable," or can be
|
||||
used to reconstruct the value using :func:`eval`. Note that this returns
|
||||
``False`` for recursive objects. If the *depth* parameter of the
|
||||
:class:`PrettyPrinter` is set and the object is deeper than allowed, this
|
||||
returns ``False``.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PrettyPrinter.isrecursive(object)
|
||||
|
||||
Determine if the object requires a recursive representation.
|
||||
|
||||
This method is provided as a hook to allow subclasses to modify the way objects
|
||||
are converted to strings. The default implementation uses the internals of the
|
||||
:func:`saferepr` implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PrettyPrinter.format(object, context, maxlevels, level)
|
||||
|
||||
Returns three values: the formatted version of *object* as a string, a flag
|
||||
indicating whether the result is readable, and a flag indicating whether
|
||||
recursion was detected. The first argument is the object to be presented. The
|
||||
second is a dictionary which contains the :func:`id` of objects that are part of
|
||||
the current presentation context (direct and indirect containers for *object*
|
||||
that are affecting the presentation) as the keys; if an object needs to be
|
||||
presented which is already represented in *context*, the third return value
|
||||
should be ``True``. Recursive calls to the :meth:`.format` method should add
|
||||
additional entries for containers to this dictionary. The third argument,
|
||||
*maxlevels*, gives the requested limit to recursion; this will be ``0`` if there
|
||||
is no requested limit. This argument should be passed unmodified to recursive
|
||||
calls. The fourth argument, *level*, gives the current level; recursive calls
|
||||
should be passed a value less than that of the current call.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

Example
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
To demonstrate several uses of the :func:`pprint` function and its parameters,
|
||||
let's fetch information about a project from `PyPI <https://pypi.org>`_::
|
||||
|
||||
>>> import json
|
||||
>>> import pprint
|
||||
>>> from urllib.request import urlopen
|
||||
>>> with urlopen('https://pypi.org/pypi/sampleproject/json') as resp:
|
||||
... project_info = json.load(resp)['info']
|
||||
|
||||
In its basic form, :func:`pprint` shows the whole object::
|
||||
|
||||
>>> pprint.pprint(project_info)
