astpretty
Pretty print the output of python stdlib ast.parse.
astpretty is intended to be a replacement for ast.dump.
Installation
pip install astprettyUsage
astpretty provides two api functions:
astpretty.pprint(node, indent=FOUR_SPACE_INDENT, show_offsets=True)
Print a representation of the ast node.
>>> astpretty.pprint(ast.parse('if x == y: y += 4').body[0])
If(
lineno=1,
col_offset=0,
test=Compare(
lineno=1,
col_offset=3,
left=Name(lineno=1, col_offset=3, id='x', ctx=Load()),
ops=[Eq()],
comparators=[Name(lineno=1, col_offset=8, id='y', ctx=Load())],
),
body=[
AugAssign(
lineno=1,
col_offset=11,
target=Name(lineno=1, col_offset=11, id='y', ctx=Store()),
op=Add(),
value=Num(lineno=1, col_offset=16, n=4),
),
],
orelse=[],
)indent allows control over the indentation string:
>>> astpretty.pprint(ast.parse('if x == y: y += 4').body[0], indent=' ')
If(
lineno=1,
col_offset=0,
test=Compare(
lineno=1,
col_offset=3,
left=Name(lineno=1, col_offset=3, id='x', ctx=Load()),
ops=[Eq()],
comparators=[Name(lineno=1, col_offset=8, id='y', ctx=Load())],
),
body=[
AugAssign(
lineno=1,
col_offset=11,
target=Name(lineno=1, col_offset=11, id='y', ctx=Store()),
op=Add(),
value=Num(lineno=1, col_offset=16, n=4),
),
],
orelse=[],
)show_offsets controls whether the output includes line / column information:
>>> astpretty.pprint(ast.parse('x += 5').body[0], show_offsets=False)
AugAssign(
target=Name(id='x', ctx=Store()),
op=Add(),
value=Num(n=5),
)astpretty.pformat(node, indent=FOUR_SPACE_INDENT, show_offsets=True)
Return a string representation of the ast node.
Arguments are identical to astpretty.pprint.
>>> astpretty.pformat(ast.parse('if x == y: y += 4').body[0])
