vivarium.library.pretty module

vivarium.library.pretty.format_dict(d, sort_keys=True)

Format a dict as a pretty string

Aside from the normal JSON-serializable data types, data of type numpy.int64 are supported.

For example:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> d = {
...     'foo': {
...         'bar': 1,
...         '3.0': np.int64(5),
...     },
...     'a': 'hi!',
... }
>>> print(format_dict(d))
{
    "a": "hi!",
    "foo": {
        "3.0": 5,
        "bar": 1
    }
}

Parameters

• d – The dictionary to format

• sort_keys – Whether to sort the dictionary keys. This is useful for reproducible output.

Returns

A string of the prettily-formatted dictionary
