what do you meant whe you say 'pretty print' ??.

is you just want to print a object in a nice format, you can use pprint

from pprint import pprint

nasty_dict = { 'hellou': bybye,
                         .....

Imagine that nasty_dict have many complex object. For pretty print in 
the python console you can do this:

pprint(nasty_dict).

Is you use ipython:

%page nasty_dict
