Description: 
        Pretty
        ******
        
        Python advanced pretty printer.  This pretty printer is intended to
        replace the old `pprint` python module which does not allow developers
        to provide their own pretty print callbacks.
        
        This module is based on ruby's `prettyprint.rb` library by `Tanaka Akira`.
        
        
        Example Usage
        =============
        
        To directly print the representation of an object use `pprint`::
        
            from pretty import pprint
            pprint(complex_object)
        
        To get a string of the output use `pretty`::
        
            from pretty import pretty
            string = pretty(complex_object)
        
        
        Extending
        =========
        
        The pretty library allows developers to add pretty printing rules for their
        own objects.  This process is straightforward.  All you have to do is to
        add a `__pretty__` method to your object and call the methods on the
        pretty printer passed::
        
            class MyObject(object):
        
                def __pretty__(self, p, cycle):
                    ...
        
        Here the example implementation of a `__pretty__` method for a list
        subclass::
        
            class MyList(list):
        
                def __pretty__(self, p, cycle):
                    if cycle:
                        p.text('MyList(...)')
                    else:
                        with p.group(8, 'MyList([', '])'):
                            for idx, item in enumerate(self):
                                if idx:
                                    p.text(',')
                                    p.breakable()
                                p.pretty(item)
        
        The `cycle` parameter is `True` if pretty detected a cycle.  You *have* to
        react to that or the result is an infinite loop.  `p.text()` just adds
        non breaking text to the output, `p.breakable()` either adds a whitespace
        or breaks here.  If you pass it an argument it's used instead of the
        default space.  `p.pretty` prettyprints another object using the pretty print
        method.
        
        The first parameter to the `group` function specifies the extra indentation
        of the next line. The second and the third parameter are the opening and 
        closing strings that will be printed before and after the group.
        In this example the next item will either be not
        breaked (if the items are short enough) or aligned with the right edge of
        the opening bracked of `MyList`.
