hprint 2.1.0
hprint
Print python object as table/json format in an easy way based on python-tabulate.
The main use cases of the library are:
table print list of records (dict)
customize table header name
customize missing value
automatically print json string when fail to print as table
support expanded output, like postgres
Installation
To install the Python library and the command line utility, run:
pip install -U hprint
Library usage
The module provides just one function, hprint or pretty_print(which is just alias of hprint), which takes a list of
dict or just a single dict as the first argument, and outputs a
nicely formatted plain-text table or json string as fallback.
>>> from hprint import pretty_print
>>> data = [{'name': 'John Doe', 'age': 18}, {'name': 'Jane Doe', 'age': 20}]
>>> pretty_print(data)
name age
-------- -----
John Doe 18
Jane Doe 20
Show index
>>> pretty_print(data, numbered=True)
No name age _no
---- -------- ----- -----
1 John Doe 18 1
2 Jane Doe 20 2
>>> pretty_print(data, numbered=True, offset=-1)
No name age _no
---- -------- ----- -----
0 John Doe 18 0
1 Jane Doe 20 1
Expanded output
>>> pretty_print(data, x=True)
-[ RECORD 1 ]--+---------
name | John Doe
age | 18
-[ RECORD 2 ]--+---------
name | Jane Doe
age | 20
Customize Headers
>>> pretty_print(data, mappings={'NAME': 'name', 'AGE': 'age'})
NAME AGE
-------- -----
John Doe 18
Jane Doe 20
>>> pretty_print(data, mappings={'NAME': 'name', 'AGE': 'age'}, header=False)
-------- --
John Doe 18
Jane Doe 20
-------- --
>>> pretty_print(data, mappings={'NAME': ('name', lambda n: n.upper()), 'AGE': 'age'})
NAME AGE
-------- -----
JOHN DOE 18
JANE DOE 20
>>> pretty_print(data, mappings={'Aggregate': ('', lambda person: person['name'] + ": " + str(person['age']))})
Aggregate
------------
John Doe: 18
Jane Doe: 20
>>> pretty_print(data, mappings={'NAME': 'name', 'AGE': 'age'}, header=False, x=True)
NAME | John Doe
AGE | 18
NAME | Jane Doe
AGE | 20
Missing value
>>> pretty_print(data, mappings={'NAME': 'name', 'AGE': 'age', 'GENDER': 'gender'})
NAME AGE GENDER
-------- ----- --------
John Doe 18 n/a
Jane Doe 20 n/a
>>> pretty_print(data, mappings={'NAME': 'name', 'AGE': 'age', 'GENDER': 'gender'}, missing_value='unknown')
NAME AGE GENDER
-------- ----- --------
John Doe 18 unknown
Jane Doe 20 unknown
Table format
Supported format are the same with those supported by tabulate.
