介绍
需要美观打印(pretty-printing)的情况下，可以使用textwrap模块格式化要输出的文本。
它提供了很多文本编辑器和字符处理器中都有的段落自动换行或填充特性
填充段落
import textwrap
text = '''
There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them
from your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what
you want to dream;go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,because you have
only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
'''
# fill函数取文本作为输入，生成格式化文本作为输出
# width表示宽度为50
print(textwrap.fill(text, width=50))
'''
There are moments in life when you miss
someone so much that you just want to pick
them from your dreams and hug them for real!
Dream what you want to dream;go where you
want to go; be what you want to be,because you
have only one life and one chance to do all
the things you want to do.
'''结果不是太让人满意。文本虽然已经对齐，不过只有第一行保留了缩进，后面各行的空格则嵌入在段落中
去除现有的缩进
import textwrap
text = '''
There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them
from your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what
you want to dream;go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,because you have
only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
'''
# 关于刚才的例子，其输出中混合嵌入了制表符和额外的空格，所以格式不是太美观。
# 用dedent可以去除示例文本中所有的行前面的空白符，这会生成更好的结果
# 并且允许在Python代码中直接使用docstring或者内嵌的多行字符串，同时去除代码本身的格式。
print(textwrap.dedent(text).strip())
'''
There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them
from your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what
you want to dream;go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,because you have
only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
'''可以看到dedent作用就是把每一行开头的缩进给去掉
结合dedent和fill
import textwrap
text = '''
There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them
from your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what
you want to dream;go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,because you have
only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
'''
# 先去除缩进，然后填充，每行长度60个字符
dedent_text = textwrap.dedent(text).strip()
print(textwrap.fill(dedent_text, width=60))
'''
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much
that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug
them for real! Dream what you want to dream;go where you
want to go; be what you want to be,because you have only
one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
'''缩进块
import textwrap
text = '''
There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them
from your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what
you want to dream;go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,because you have
only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
'''
# 可以使用indent函数为一个字符串的所有行增加一致的前缀文本
dedent_text = textwrap.dedent(text).strip()
final_text = textwrap.indent(dedent_text, ">>>")
print(final_text)
'''
>>>There are moments in life when you miss someone
>>>so much that you just want to pick them
>>>from your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what
>>>you want to dream;go where you want to go;
>>>be what you want to be,because you have
>>>only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
'''
# 除此之外还可以给指定行添加
final_text = textwrap.indent(dedent_text, prefix="->", predicate=lambda line: len(line.strip()) > 40)
print(final_text)
'''
->There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them
->from your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what
->you want to dream;go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,because you have
->only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
'''
# 显然lambda里面的line就是每一行的文本,指定文本长度大于40的悬挂缩进
import textwrap
text = '''
There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them
from your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what
you want to dream;go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,because you have
only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
'''
# 不仅可以设置输出的宽度，还可以采用同样的方式单独控制首行的缩进，使首行的缩进不同于后续的各行
dedent_text = textwrap.dedent(text).strip()
print(textwrap.fill(dedent_text,
initial_indent="",
subsequent_indent=" "*4,
width=50))
'''

your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what
you want to dream;go where you want to go; be
what you want to be,because you have only one
life and one chance to do all the things you
want to do.
'''
# 这便可以生成悬挂缩进，即首行缩进小于其他行的缩进
# 缩进值也可以包含非空白字符。
print(textwrap.fill(dedent_text,
initial_indent="", # 首行缩进
subsequent_indent="*"*4, # 首行之外的行缩进
width=50))
'''
