pdir2: Pretty dir() printing with joy

PyPI Version

Have you ever dreamed of a better output of dir()? I do. So I created this.

Features

Attributes are grouped by types/functionalities, with beautiful colors.
Support all platforms including Windows(Thanks to colorama).
Support ipython, ptpython, bpython and Jupyter Notebook! See wiki for more information.
The return value of pdir() can still be used as a list of names.
You can search for certain names with .s() or .search():

Search is case-insensitive by default.

You can use .search(name, case_sensitive=True) to do case sensitive searching.

Install

pip install pdir2

About the name. I wanted to call it “pdir”, but there’s already one with this name on pypi. Mine is better, of course.

As a better alternative of dir(), it’s more convenient to automatically import pdir2 when launching REPL. Luckily, Python provides a way to do this. In you .bashrc(or .zshrc), add this line:

export PYTHONSTARTUP=$HOME/.pythonstartup

Then, create .pythonstartup in your home folder. Add one line:

import pdir

Next time you launch REPL, pdir() is already there, Hooray!

Testing

Simply run pytest, or use tox if you like.
