Python and default dict, how to pprint

Question

I am using default dict. I need to pprint.

However, when I pprint ...this is how it looks.

defaultdict(

        

Answer 1

I really like this solution for dealing with nested defaultdicts. It's a bit of a hack, but does the job neatly when pdbing:

import json
data_as_dict = json.loads(json.dumps(data_as_defaultdict))
print(data_as_dict)
