Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : python3-asciitree Version : 0.3.3 Upstream Author : Marc Brinkmann <[email protected]> * URL : [email protected]:mbr/asciitree.git * Licence : MIT Programming Lang: Python 2/3 Description : draw tree structures using (ASCII or Unicode) characters
This package contains functions to draw a tree structure, similar to the tree Debian package, from arbitrary nested Python data structures, with configurable layout, sets of characters (ASCII or various Unicode line drawing), etc. It includes predefined structure traversal methods for (optionally ordered) dictionaries but allows the user to write their own to traverse custom data structures. This was recently very helpful at $dayjob, and it would be good to have it in Debian, although I do not intend to maintain it myself a coworker will surely (*wink*) since it probably can be done on the clock. The documentation included in the package itself is extremely sparse; there’s a link to https://pythonhosted.org/asciitree/ (the contents of which I’d suggest including in the binary package under /usr/share/doc/ somewhere), but I had to look into the source to figure out how to best use it.
