Syntax-highlighting, declarative and composable pretty printer for Python 3.5+

.. code:: bash

pip install prettyprinter
  • Drop in replacement for the standard library pprint: just rename pprint to prettyprinter in your imports.
  • Uses a modified Wadler-Leijen layout algorithm for optimal formatting
  • Write pretty printers for your own types with a dead simple, declarative interface

Pretty print common Python values:

.. code:: python

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from prettyprinter import pprint
>>> pprint({'beautiful output': datetime.now()})
{
    'beautiful output': datetime.datetime(
        year=2017,
        month=12,
        day=12,
        hour=0,
        minute=43,
        second=4,
        microsecond=752094
    )
}

As well as your own, without any manual string formatting:

.. code:: python

>>> class MyClass:
...     def __init__(self, one, two):
...         self.one = one
...         self.two = two

>>> from prettyprinter import register_pretty, pretty_call

>>> @register_pretty(MyClass)
... def pretty_myclass(value, ctx):
...     return pretty_call(ctx, MyClass, one=value.one, two=value.two)

>>> pprint(MyClass((1, 2, 3), {'a': 1, 'b': 2}))
MyClass(one=(1, 2, 3), two={'a': 1, 'b': 2})

>>> pprint({'beautiful output': datetime.now(), 'beautiful MyClass instance': MyClass((1, 2, 3), {'a': 1, 'b': 2})})
{
    'beautiful MyClass instance': MyClass(
        one=(1, 2, 3),
        two={'a': 1, 'b': 2}
    ),
    'beautiful output': datetime.datetime(
        year=2017,
        month=12,
        day=12,
        hour=0,
        minute=44,
        second=18,
        microsecond=384219
    )
}

Comes packaged with the following pretty printer definitions, which you can enable by calling prettyprinter.install_extras():

  • datetime - (installed by default)
  • enum - (installed by default)
  • pytz - (installed by default)
  • dataclasses - any new class you create will be pretty printed automatically

  • Add helper to apply default config. <https://github.com/tommikaikkonen/prettyprinter/pull/46>_ by @anntzer <https://github.com/anntzer>_
  • A number of docs and CI improvements: #43 <https://github.com/tommikaikkonen/prettyprinter/pull/43>, #44 <https://github.com/tommikaikkonen/prettyprinter/pull/44>, #45 <https://github.com/tommikaikkonen/prettyprinter/pull/45>_ .Thanks @anntzer <https://github.com/anntzer>_
  • Add support for functools.partialmethod. <https://github.com/tommikaikkonen/prettyprinter/pull/42>_ by @anntzer <https://github.com/anntzer>_
  • Fix typo in changelog. <https://github.com/tommikaikkonen/prettyprinter/pull/40>_ Thanks @Vlad-Shcherbina <https://github.com/Vlad-Shcherbina>_

0.16.0 (2019-02-27)

  • Adds a new extra for numpy. <https://github.com/tommikaikkonen/prettyprinter/pull/39>_ The extra currently registers pretty printers for numpy scalar types. Enable it with import prettyprinter; prettyprinter.install_extras(['numpy']). Thanks @anntzer <https://github.com/anntzer>_

0.15.0 (2019-02-25)

This release brings bugfixes, an enhancement to pathlib prettyprinting (thanks @anntzer <https://github.com/anntzer>_ ) and a nice performance boost. There was an redundant subtree call in a tree normalization procedure that caused exponential runtime, worsening quickly if data was highly nested. That extra call is now removed.

  • Fix exponential runtime in highly nested data <https://github.com/tommikaikkonen/prettyprinter/pull/34>_
  • Fix infinite loop when rendering strings in highly nested data <https://github.com/tommikaikkonen/prettyprinter/pull/33>_

Most likely no breaking changes.

  • Added definitions for pathlib standard library module thanks to GitHub user RazerM
  • Fixed unexpected error output inside Jupyter notebooks thanks to GitHub user jdanbrown
  • Fixed missing commas in setup.py requirements list

0.13.2 (2018-05-29)

No breaking changes.

  • Fixed the dataclasses pretty printer that had regressed after changes to the dataclasses API. Fix was contributed by GitHub user dangirsh.

0.13.1 (2018-02-03)

No breaking changes.

  • Fixed GH issue #17 where Django models showed an incorrect display name for fields with choices.

0.13.0 (2018-02-03)

No breaking changes.

  • Added definitions for the ast standard library module thanks to GitHub user johnnoone.

0.12.0 (2018-01-22)

No breaking changes.

  • Added a definition for classes that look like they were built with collections.namedtuple
  • If a pretty printer raises an exception, it is caught and emitted as a warning, and the default repr implementation will be used instead.
  • Added definitions for collections.ChainMap, collections.defaultdict, collections.deque, functools.partial, and for exception objects.
  • Made pretty printers for primitive types (dict, list, set, etc.) render a subclass constructor around them

0.11.0 (2018-01-20)

No breaking changes.

  • Added Python 3.5 support
  • Added pretty_call_alt function that doesn't depend on dict maintaining insertion order
  • Fixed bug in set_default_config where most configuration values were not updated
  • Added get_default_config

0.10.1 (2018-01-10)

No breaking changes.

  • Fixed regression with types.MappingProxyType not being properly registered.

0.10.0 (2018-01-09)

No breaking changes.

  • Added support for deferred printer registration, where instead of a concrete type value, you can pass a qualified path to a type as a str to register_pretty. For an example, see the deferred printer registration for uuid.UUID <https://github.com/tommikaikkonen/prettyprinter/blob/05187126889ade1c2bf0557a40800e5c44a32bab/prettyprinter/pretty_stdlib.py#L38-L40>_

0.9.0 (2018-01-03)

No breaking changes.

  • Added pretty printer definition for types.MappingProxyType thanks to GitHub user Cologler <https://github.com/Cologler/>_
  • Added support for _repr_pretty_ in the extra ipython_repr_pretty.

0.8.1 (2018-01-01)

  • Fixed issue #7 where having a str value for IPython's highlighting_style setting was not properly handled in prettyprinter's IPython integration, and raised an exception when trying to print data.

0.8.0 (2017-12-31)

Breaking changes:

  • by default, dict keys are printed in the default order (insertion order in CPython 3.6+). Previously they were sorted like in the pprint standard library module. To let the user control this, an additional keyword argument sort_dict_keys was added to cpprint, pprint, and pformat. Pretty printer definitions can control dict key sorting with the PrettyContext instance passed to each pretty printer function.

Non-breaking changes:

  • Improved performance of rendering colorized output by caching colors.
  • Added prettyprinter.pretty_repr that is assignable to __repr__ dunder methods, so you don't need to write it separately from the pretty printer definition.
  • Deprecated use of PrettyContext.set in favor of less misleading PrettyContext.assoc
  • Defined pretty printing for instances of type, i.e. classes.
  • Defined pretty printing for functions

0.7.0 (2017-12-23)

Breaking change: instances of lists, sets, frozensets, tuples and dicts will be truncated to 1000 elements by default when printing.

  • Added pretty printing definitions for dataclasses
  • Improved performance of splitting strings to multiple lines by ~15%
  • Added a maximum sequence length that applies to subclasses of lists, sets, frozensets, tuples and dicts. The default is 1000. There is a trailing comment that indicates the number of truncated elements. To remove truncation, you can set max_seq_len to None using set_default_config explained below.
  • Added ability to change the default global configuration using set_default_config. The functions accepts zero to many keyword arguments and replaces those values in the global configuration with the ones provided.

.. code:: python

from prettyprinter import set_default_config

set_default_config(
    style='dark',
    max_seq_len=1000,
    width=79,
    ribbon_width=71,
    depth=None,
)

0.6.0 (2017-12-21)

No backwards incompatible changes.

0.3.0 (2017-12-12)

  • Add set_default_style function, improve docs on working with a light background

0.2.0 (2017-12-12)
