A ``pprint`` for CPython 3.6 ``dict`` objects that preserves insertion order.

About

=====

CPython 3.6 uses a new "compact" representation for `dict`_ objects. As a

nice side effect this happens to preserve the insertion order of keys.

    The order-preserving aspect of this new implementation is considered an

    implementation detail and should not be relied upon

``pprint.pprint()`` retains it's behaviour from earlier Python releases.

It formats a ``dict`` object by sorting the keys alphabetically.

.. code:: python

    >>> import pprint

    >>> pprint.pprint({'foo': 1, 'bar': 2, 'baz': 3})

    {'bar': 2, 'baz': 3, 'foo': 1}

``oprint.pprint()`` throws out the old.

.. code:: python

    >>> import oprint

    >>> oprint.pprint({'foo': 1, 'bar': 2, 'baz': 3})

    {'foo': 1, 'bar': 2, 'baz': 3}

The library is otherwise a drop-in replacement for ``pprint``.

Install

=======

.. code:: sh

    pip install oprint
