Have you ever dreamed of a better output of dir()? I do. So I created this.
-
Attributes are grouped by types/functionalities, with beautiful colors.
-
Support color customization, here's how.
-
Support all platforms including Windows(Thanks to colorama).
-
Support ipython, ptpython, bpython and Jupyter Notebook! See wiki for details.
-
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.
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!
Simply run pytest, or use tox if you like.
