A short alias for the pprintpp or pprint module

Project description

pp can be installed with Python 2 or Python 3 using pip or easy_install:

$ pip install pprintpp pp-ez
- OR -
$ easy_install pprintpp pp-ez

The pp package is just an alias for the pprintpp package (and falls back to the pprint package if pprintpp isn’t available), plus a bit of magic so it can be called directly:

>>> import pp
>>> pp(["Hello", "world"])
["Hello", "world"]
>>> pp.fmt([1, 2, 3])
'[1, 2, 3]'
>>> pp.pprint([1, 2, 3])
[1, 2, 3]
>>> pp.pformat([1, 2, 3])
'[1, 2, 3]'

By default, pp tries to use the pprintpp package, but if that is not available it will fall back to using pprint:

>>> import pp
>>> pp
<module 'pp' (pp_magic_module with pprint_mod='pprint')>
>>> pp.pprint_mod
<module 'pprint' from '.../lib/python2.7/pprint.pyc'>
