pretty

This module calls install() on import, and defines print as pprint.

It allows setting up pretty print functionality in only one line.

Usage
>>> from pytermgui.pretty import print

install(indent=2, force_markup=False, expand_all=False)

Sets up pprint to print all REPL output. IPython is also supported.

This functions sets up a hook that will call pprint after every interactive return. The given arguments are passed directly to pprint, so for more information you can check out that function.

Usage is pretty simple:

>>> from pytermgui import pretty
>>> tim.setup_displayhook()
>>> # Any function output will now be prettified

...or alternatively, you can import print from pytermgui.pretty, and have it automatically set up, and replace your namespace's print function with tim.pprint:

>>> from pytermgui.pretty import print
... # Under the hood, the above is called and `tim.pprint` is set
... # for the `print` name
>>> # Any function output will now be prettified

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
indent int

The indentation value used for multi-line objects. This is ignored when the given object has a len() < 2, and expand_all is not set.

2
force_markup bool

Turn all ANSI-sequences into tim before pretty printing.

False
expand_all bool

Force-expand containers, even when they would normally be collapsed.

False

pprint(*items, indent=2, expand_all=False, force_markup=False, parse=True, **print_args)

A wrapper to pretty-print any object.

This essentially just calls prettify on each given object, and passes the **print_args right through to print. Note that when the sep print argument is ommitted it is manually set to ", \n".

To customize any of the styles, see MarkupLanguage.prettify.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
*items Any

The items to print. These are passed in the same way they would be into builtin print.

()
indent int

The indentation value used for multi-line objects. This is ignored when the given object has a len() < 2, and expand_all is not set.

2
force_markup bool

Turn all ANSI-sequences into markup before pretty printing.

False
expand_all bool

Force-expand containers, even when they would normally be collapsed.

False
**print_args Any

All arguments passed to builtin print.
