Python code to print out value in any variable

Question

What are some good ways to "pretty print" values of any variable (and anything inside the variable), whether it is:

• scalar
• object
• list of scalar or objects
• dict of scalar or objects
• tuple of scalar or objects

Thanks

Answer 1

Building on top of Aeiddius's answer.

This works well on natives types like scalar, lists of scalars, and dicts of scalars:

from pprint import pprint

pprint(var)

But for user-defined objects, I got things like <MyClass object at 0x10fcf93d0>

Below works well on user-defined objects:

from pprint import pprint

pprint(vars(object))

There doesn't seem to be one simple solution that works for all cases on this need.

Answer 2

from pprint import pprint

pprint(var)

And if you don't like pprint, try https://pypi.org/project/pprintpp/
