python之pprint模块简用
pprint module提供了可以按照某个格式正确的显示python已知类型数据的一种方法，这种格式可被解析器解析, 又很易读。但是，如果已知格式的数据对象不是python的基础类型，这种表示方法就有可能加载失败。这种情况一般是对象为 files, sockets, classes, or instances are included, as well as many other built-in objects which are not representable as Python constants。
该方法输出将对象的输出分隔成单行显示，并在宽度设置不适合时，将其分成多行显示。
class pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=1,width=80,depth=None,stream=None)
- pprint. pformat ( object, indent=1, width=80, depth=None )仅仅想获得数据而不是输出数据也可以用pformat
-
Return the formatted representation of object as a string. indent,widthanddepth will be passed to thePrettyPrinter constructor as formatting parameters.
-
Prints the formatted representation of object on stream, followed by anewline.
- pprint. isreadable ( object )
-
Determine if the formatted representation of object is “readable,” or can be used to reconstruct the value usingeval(). This always returnsFalse for recursive objects.

# This example demonstrates several uses of the pprint() function and its parameters.
如下例，依次为：
#list中包含tuple
#按照指定深度来显示stuff内容
#The number of levels which may be printed is controlled by depth; if the data structure being printed is too deep, the next contained level is replaced by ....
#The desired output width is constrained using the width parameter; the default is 80 characters.
If a structure cannot be formatted within the constrained width, a best effort will be made.
