Dictionaries are fun and useful!. But just like a folder structure, they can be multitiered storing all kinds of things in nested hierarchies. tree is a Linux utility that prints the multilevel structure of directories as a beautiful tree. dtree does the same but for dictionaries.
Consider the following dictionary
dictionary = { "A": { "B": { "C": 0, "D": "some-string" }, "E": None }, "F": { "G": 0.0, "H": set([]) } }Using dtree you can print the tree structure in different ways:
The utility can be installed with pip. For a local installation in development mode use:
pip install -e .This version currenly prints the str representation of the dictionary keys for the nodes of the tree. When keys are custom class objects, printing them could be very verbose so that would cause issues with the printed tree. I'll fix this in future PRs.
