smartprint 1.0.3

Include the variable name in print statements

smartprint

Save a few seconds and a few keystrokes with every print statement! 😎

Usual print statment:

print ("veryLongVariableName : ", veryLongVariableName)

Enter smart print:

from smartprint import smartprint as sprint

veryLongVariableName = 25
sprint (veryLongVariableName) 

Output:

veryLongVariableName : 25

Examples:

1. smartprint works with multiple variables and different kinds of objects

from smartprint import smartprint as sprint 
import numpy as np 

a = [1,22,31]
sprint (a, len(a))
sprint (np.random.rand())

Output:

a, len(a) : [1, 22, 31] 3
np.random.rand() : 0.649617730484109

2. Now, smartprint includes pretty print (through pprint module) for lists and dicts as shown below:

2 (a) List example

a = [1, 4, 5, 3, 4, "This", "is", \
     ["fun; The inspect module is"], \
     "really powerful","What",["do", [9, 8, 6],"you", "think?", 5]]
sprint (a)

Output:

List: a
[1,
 4,
 5,
 3,
 4,
 'This',
 'is',
 ['fun; The inspect module is'],
 'really powerful',
 'What',
 ['do', [9, 8, 6], 'you', 'think?', 5]]

2 (b) Dict example

a = {1:2, 3:"Kumar",31:"Nishant", \
     2.5:{1:2, 3:"Kumar",31:"Nishant", 0:"NK"}, 0:"NK"}
sprint (a)

Output:

Dict: a
Key: Value
{0: 'NK',
 1: 2,
 2.5: {0: 'NK', 1: 2, 3: 'Kumar', 31: 'Nishant'},
 3: 'Kumar',
 31: 'Nishant'}

In place print replacement

As suggested by user @nickdelgrosso in Issue 7, if

from smartprint import smartprint as print

is used, smartprint can be used as an in-place print replacement. Alternatively, it can be used to override the existing print statements without touching any other parts of the code.

Installation

pip install smartprint
