Output difference between ipython and python
Solution 1:
Instead of repr
or standard pprint
module IPython uses IPython.lib.pretty.RepresentationPrinter.pretty
method to print the output.
Module IPython.lib.pretty
provides two functions that use RepresentationPrinter.pretty
behind the scenes.
IPython.lib.pretty.pretty
function returns the string representation of an object:
>>> from IPython.lib.pretty import pretty
>>> pretty(type([]))
'list'
IPython.lib.pretty.pprint
function prints the representation of an object:
>>> from IPython.lib.pretty import pprint
>>> pprint(type([]))
list
IPython uses its own pretty printer because the standard Python pprint
module "does not allow developers to provide their own pretty print callbacks."
