Output alternatives in Python

Is there any alternatives to the print statement for output in Python.

Also, how can I fo开发者_如何学Gormat my output text to be color-coded?

I'm a beginner programmer, pretty new to it.

Thanks

sys.stdout.write()

Is one alternative. You can also write to sys.stderr. Personally, I use sys.stdout when I need to pass a generic "stream" to some function that will write to it. And open file is a stream, and sys.stdout is a stream. This way my function can be parametrized to write either to output or to file.

I also find sys.stdout.write more convenient than print for printing many things to a single line, as I find the ending comma syntax of print for suppressing the newline ugly and inconvenient.

Regarding printing to the terminal in colors, see this other SO discussion.

You can use the "display()" function instead of print() - I prefer this and it works well to display dataframes

display(dataframe)

or

You can also use Pretty printer : Sample code below

import pprint
stuff = ['spam', 'eggs', 'lumberjack', 'knights', 'ni']
stuff.insert(0, stuff[:])
pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)
pp.pprint(stuff)

You can use PrettyPrint for print data

An example:

ic(b)

ic| b: 6
