# monty.pprint module

Pretty printing functions.

## class monty.pprint.DisplayEcoder(*, skipkeys=False, ensure_ascii=True, check_circular=True, allow_nan=True, sort_keys=False, indent=None, separators=None, default=None)

Bases: `JSONEncoder`

Help convert dicts and objects to a format that can be displayed in notebooks

Constructor for JSONEncoder, with sensible defaults.

If skipkeys is false, then it is a TypeError to attempt encoding of keys that are not str, int, float or None. If skipkeys is True, such items are simply skipped.

If ensure_ascii is true, the output is guaranteed to be str objects with all incoming non-ASCII characters escaped. If ensure_ascii is false, the output can contain non-ASCII characters.

If check_circular is true, then lists, dicts, and custom encoded objects will be checked for circular references during encoding to prevent an infinite recursion (which would cause an RecursionError). Otherwise, no such check takes place.

If allow_nan is true, then NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity will be encoded as such. This behavior is not JSON specification compliant, but is consistent with most JavaScript based encoders and decoders. Otherwise, it will be a ValueError to encode such floats.

If sort_keys is true, then the output of dictionaries will be sorted by key; this is useful for regression tests to ensure that JSON serializations can be compared on a day-to-day basis.

If indent is a non-negative integer, then JSON array elements and object members will be pretty-printed with that indent level. An indent level of 0 will only insert newlines. None is the most compact representation.

If specified, separators should be an (item_separator, key_separator) tuple. The default is (’, ‘, ‘: ‘) if indent is `None` and (‘,’, ‘: ‘) otherwise. To get the most compact JSON representation, you should specify (‘,’, ‘:’) to eliminate whitespace.

If specified, default is a function that gets called for objects that can’t otherwise be serialized. It should return a JSON encodable version of the object or raise a `TypeError`.

### default(o)

Try diffent ways of converting the present object for displaying

## monty.pprint.draw_tree(node, child_iter=<function <lambda>>, text_str=<function <lambda>>)

- Parameters

  - node – the root of the tree to be drawn,

  - child_iter – function that when called with a node, returns an iterable over all its children

  - text_str – turns a node into the text to be displayed in the tree.

The default implementations of these two arguments retrieve the children by accessing node.children and simply use str(node) to convert a node to a string. The resulting tree is drawn into a buffer and returned as a string.

## monty.pprint.pprint_json(data)

Display a tree-like object in a jupyter notebook. Allows for collapsible interactive interaction with data.

- Parameters data – a dictionary or object

## monty.pprint.pprint_table(table, out=<_io.TextIOWrapper name=’<stdout>’ mode=’w’ encoding=’utf-8’>, rstrip=False)

Prints out a table of data, padded for alignment Each row must have the same number of columns.

- Parameters

  - table – The table to print. A list of lists.

  - out – Output stream (file-like object)

  - rstrip – if True, trailing withespaces are removed from the entries.
