single-dispatch-pprint

Re-implementation of 'pprint' in Python Standard Library using singledispatch

Almost same as pprint.*

spprint.PrettyPrinter(indent, width, depth, stream)

spprint.pformat(object, indent, width, depth)

spprint.pprint(object, stream, indent, width, depth)

However, you can add support for your new types by format_instance .

For example:

import spprint

class Spam:
    def __init__(self, count, side_dish):
        self.count = count
        self.side_dish = side_dish

    def __repr__(self):
        return "<Spam {}and {}>".format('spam ' * self.count, self.side_dish)

@spprint.format_instance.register(Spam)
def format_spam(obj, context):
    w = context.stream.write
    w("<Spam \n")
    for _ in range(obj.count):
        w(' ' * (context.indent + context.indent_per_level))
        w('spam\n')
    w(' ' * (context.indent + context.indent_per_level))
    w('and {}>'.format(obj.side_dish))

spprint.pprint([Spam(2, 'Egg'), Spam(7, 'Ham')], width=40)
