import dictdumper
dumper = dictdumper.Tree('out.txt')
test_1 = dict(
    foo = -1,                   # int
    bar = 'Hello, world!',      # string
    boo = dict(                 # dict
        foo_again = True,       # bool
        bar_again = b'bytes',   # bytes (b'\x62\x79\x74\x65\x73')
        boo_again = None,       # NoneType
    ),
)
dumper(test_1, name='test_1')

  |-- bar -> hello
  |-- boo
        |-- foo_again -> True
        |-- bar_again -> 62 79 74 65 73
        |-- boo_again -> N/A

import datetime
test_2 = dict(
    foo = [1, 2.0, 3],          # list
    bar = (1.0, 2, 3.0),        # tuple
    boo = dict(                 # dict
        foo_again = 'a long long bytes',
                                # bytes
        bar_again = datetime.datetime.today(),
                                # datetime
        boo_again = -1.0,       # float
    ),
)
dumper(test_2, name='test_2')
