Prints Dictionary key-values in a human readable manner.
Suppose you have the following dictionary: ``` dict_1 = {'a': 0, '1': {1: 'c', 2: 'd'}, '2': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]} ``` When you print this on the console you will have this: ``` >>> {'a': 0, '1': {1: 'c', 2: 'd'}, '2': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]} ``` What if you have a very larger dictionary of things that each key has an iterable object, i.e dictionary, list, ...? How does it look like?Suppose you have the following dictionary:
dict_1 = {'a': 0, '1': {1: {'abc': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 'efg': [7, 8, 9, 10, 100]},
2: {'1': {1: 'abc', 2: 'efg'}, '2': {3: 'abc'}}}, '2': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]}
if you print if normally it will be this:
{'a': 0, '1': {1: {'abc': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 'efg': [7, 8, 9, 10, 100]}, 2: {'1': {1: 'abc', 2: 'efg'}, '2': {3: 'abc'}}}, '2': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]}
But if you use this lib it would be this(this is PyCharm Console):
Simply import the PrettyDict from pretty_dictionary module from pretty_print_dictionary package
from pretty_print_dictionary.pretty_dictionary import PrettyDict
Create your own dictionary.
my_dictionary = {0:[1,2,3], 1:['a','b']}
Create a class of PrettyDict and set your dictionary as its argument.
pd = PrettyDict(my_dictionary)
Call the ppd(Pretty Print Dictionary) method to print the dictionary
pd.ppd()
