Re: Formatting in PythonWin's Interactive Window
Hi,
I've only been playing with PythonWin (and Python) for a day, but I'm very impressed, so far
. One thing I can't figure out, though, is how to get the Interactive Window to format the o
utput of some of the methods, such as __doc__. For instance, when I execute the line
> >>dict.__doc__
I get the following for output
"dict() -> new empty dictionary.\ndict(mapping) -> new dictionary initialized from a mapping
object's\n (key, value) pairs.\ndict(seq) -> new dictionary initialized as if via:\n
d = {}\n for k, v in seq:\n d[k] = v\ndict(**kwargs) -> new dictionary initialized
with the name=value pairs\n in the keyword argument list. For example: dict(one=1, two
=2)"
It's full of newline codes, but they are ignored, and they just make it harder to read. Is t
here a way to correct this?
Thanks!
Dave
