How can I pretty print a dictionary with depth of ~4 in Python? I tried pretty printing with pprint()
, but it did not work:
import pprint
pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)
pp.pprint(mydict)
I simply want an indentation ("\t"
) for each nesting, so that I get something like this:
key1
value1
value2
key2
value1
value2
etc.
How can I do this?
I'm not sure how exactly you want the formatting to look like, but you could start with a function like this:
def pretty(d, indent=0):
for key, value in d.items():
print('\t' * indent + str(key))
if isinstance(value, dict):
pretty(value, indent+1)
else:
print('\t' * (indent+1) + str(value))
