prettyrepr 1.0.5

pretty_repr

pretty_repr is a package that allows you to create clear and informative methods for your own classes in Python.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have installed the latest version of Python.
Installing pretty_repr
To install pretty_repr, follow these steps:
Linux and macOS:
pip3 install pretty-repr

Windows:
pip install pretty-repr

Using pretty_repr
There are will be examples of how to use pretty_repr.
get_representation

The get_representation function requires an instance of some class
as parameter and returns its string representation:

>>> from pretty_repr import get_representation
>>> class A:
... def __init__(self, a, b, c, d=0):
... self.a = a
... self.__b = b
... self._c = c
... self.d = d
...
>>> example_1 = A(1, 2, 3)
>>> print(get_representation(example_1))
A(a=1, b=2, _c=3, d=0)

Run the following to exclude some parameters from the representation:

>>> print(get_representation(example_1, excluded={'a', '_c'}))
A(b=2, d=0)

If a parameter is iterable is represented in accordance to its __repr__ method:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> example_2 = A((1, 2), [3, 4], {5, 6}, np.zeros(3))
>>> print(get_representation(example_2))
A(a=(1, 2), b=[3, 4], _c={5, 6}, d=array([0., 0., 0.]))

Inheritor representation includes all parameters of the ancestor
as well as its own parameters:

>>> from pretty_repr import get_representation
>>> class B(A):
... def __init__(self, e, f, h=1, **kwargs):
... super().__init__(**kwargs)
... self.e = e
... self.__f = f
... self.h = h
...
>>> example_3 = B(a=1, b=2, c=3, e=4, f=5)
>>> print(get_representation(example_3))
B(a=1, b=2, _c=3, d=0, e=4, f=5, h=1)

This representation includes private attributes of the ancestor.
Run the following to exclude it from representation:

>>> example_3._A__b
2
>>> print(get_representation(example_3, ancestor_private_attributes=False))
B(a=1, _c=3, d=0, e=4, f=5, h=1)

RepresentableObject
The RepresentableObject class is the class which __repr__ method returns
get_representation function result:
>>> from pretty_repr import RepresentableObject
>>> print(get_representation(RepresentableObject()))
RepresentableObject()
>>> print(repr(RepresentableObject()))
RepresentableObject()

You can use class inherited from RepresentableObject
instead of __repr__ method implementation:
>>> class C(RepresentableObject):
... def __init__(self, a, b, c, d=0):
... self.a = a
... self.__b = b
... self._c = c
... self.d = d
...
>>> example_1 = C(1, 2, 3)
>>> example_1
C(a=1, b=2, _c=3, d=0)

Define property excluded_attributes_for_repr
to exclude some parameters from representation:
>>> class D(C):
... def __init__(self, e, f, h=1, **kwargs):
... super().__init__(**kwargs)
... self.e = e
... self.__f = f
... self.h = h
... @property
... def excluded_attributes_for_repr(self):
... return {'f', 'h'}
...
>>> example_4 = D(a=1, b=2, c=3, e=4, f=5)
>>> example_4
D(a=1, b=2, _c=3, d=0, e=4)
