Sorry, bad typing day....
I need to display some dictionaries, these are generated according to
DATA provided by the user. I would like to display them on a page, but
need to display them pretty (like with pprint). I am wrapping this
part of the app in plugin_wiki: I have 4 types of data that that get
inserted in to a DB once generated that I can use for for this (i
couldn't decide, so gave myself options):
Do you kow fo the module called pprint (pretty-print). It comes with
Python, and does a decent job with dictionaries (even nested ones) right
out of the box:
from pprint import pprint
pprint(...)
If you want further control, you can investigate the module beyond the
simple shortcut pprint function.
1) a dictionary (containing other dictionaries embedded within)
2) the same dict, but inserted as_string
3) the same dict, but wrapped up like an object
4) an xml representation of the same dict
I can write any of these 4 very nicely to the terminal output, or a
file, but it seems not on a web2py app page... Once displayed, the
user will understand the 'semantics. does anybody have a trick for
displaying like this on a webApp page?
here is an example of what I am looking for (not sure how this will
look here, but, apologies in advance if it does look garbled):
