  1. The pprint module has a function named pformat, for just that purpose.

    From the documentation:

    Return the formatted representation of object as a string. indent, width and depth will be passed to the PrettyPrinter constructor as formatting parameters.

    Example:

    >>> import pprint >>> people = [ ...     {"first": "Brian", "last": "Kernighan"},  ...     {"first": "Dennis", "last": "Richie"}, ... ] >>> pprint.pformat(people, indent=4) "[   {   'first': 'Brian', 'last': 'Kernighan'},\n    {   'first': 'Dennis', 'last': 'Richie'}]"
