这里有一些东西可以打印任何类型的嵌套字典，同时跟踪“父”字典。

dicList = list()

def prettierPrint(dic, dicList):
count = 0
for key, value in dic.iteritems():
    count+=1
    if str(value) == 'OrderedDict()':
        value = None
    if not isinstance(value, dict):
        print str(key) + ": " + str(value)
        print str(key) + ' was found in the following path:',
        print dicList
        print '\n'
    elif isinstance(value, dict):
        dicList.append(key)
        prettierPrint(value, dicList)
    if dicList:
         if count == len(dic):
             dicList.pop()
             count = 0

prettierPrint(dicExample, dicList)

这是根据不同格式进行打印的一个很好的起点，就像op中指定的那样。你真正需要做的只是围绕打印块进行操作。注意，它将查看该值是否为'OrderedDict()'。这取决于你是否使用容器数据类型集合中的东西，你应该做这些故障保护，这样elif块不会因为它的名字而把它视为一个额外的字典。就像现在，一个例子字典

example_dict = {'key1': 'value1',
            'key2': 'value2',
            'key3': {'key3a': 'value3a'},
            'key4': {'key4a': {'key4aa': 'value4aa',
                               'key4ab': 'value4ab',
                               'key4ac': 'value4ac'},
                     'key4b': 'value4b'}

将打印

key3a: value3a
key3a was found in the following path: ['key3']

key2: value2
key2 was found in the following path: []

key1: value1
key1 was found in the following path: []

key4ab: value4ab
key4ab was found in the following path: ['key4', 'key4a']

key4ac: value4ac
key4ac was found in the following path: ['key4', 'key4a']

key4aa: value4aa
key4aa was found in the following path: ['key4', 'key4a']

key4b: value4b
key4b was found in the following path: ['key4']

~修改代码以适应问题的格式~

lastDict = list()
dicList = list()
def prettierPrint(dic, dicList):
    global lastDict
    count = 0
    for key, value in dic.iteritems():
        count+=1
        if str(value) == 'OrderedDict()':
            value = None
        if not isinstance(value, dict):
            if lastDict == dicList:
                sameParents = True
            else:
                sameParents = False

            if dicList and sameParents is not True:
                spacing = ' ' * len(str(dicList))
                print dicList
                print spacing,
                print str(value)

            if dicList and sameParents is True:
                print spacing,
                print str(value)
            lastDict = list(dicList)

        elif isinstance(value, dict):
            dicList.append(key)
            prettierPrint(value, dicList)

        if dicList:
             if count == len(dic):
                 dicList.pop()
                 count = 0

使用相同的示例代码，它将打印以下内容:

['key3']
         value3a
['key4', 'key4a']
                  value4ab
                  value4ac
                  value4aa
['key4']
         value4b

This isn't exactly what is requested in OP. The difference is that a parent^n is still printed, instead of being absent and replaced with white-space. To get to OP's format, you'll need to do something like the following: iteratively compare dicList with the lastDict. You can do this by making a new dictionary and copying dicList's content to it, checking if i in the copied dictionary is the same as i in lastDict, and -- if it is -- writing whitespace to that i position using the string multiplier function.

return a string representive of aDict in the following format:
    {
     key1: value1,
     key2: value2,
     ...
     }

Spaces will be added to the keys to make them have same width.

sortKey: set to 1 if want keys sorted;
keyAlign: either 'l' or 'r', for left, right align, respectively.
keyPrefix, keySuffix, valuePrefix, valueSuffix: The prefix and
   suffix to wrap the keys or values. Good for formatting them
   for html document(for example, keyPrefix='<b>', keySuffix='</b>'). 
   Note: The keys will be padded with spaces to have them
         equally-wide. The pre- and suffix will be added OUTSIDE
         the entire width.
html: if set to 1, all spaces will be replaced with '&nbsp;', and
      the entire output will be wrapped with '<code>' and '</code>'.
br: determine the carriage return. If html, it is suggested to set
    br to '<br>'. If you want the html source code eazy to read,
    set br to '<br>\n'

我自己是一个相对的python新手，但过去几周我一直在使用嵌套字典，这就是我想到的。

你应该尝试使用堆栈。将根字典中的键变成一个列表的列表:

stack = [ root.keys() ]     # Result: [ [root keys] ]

按照从最后到第一个的相反顺序，查找字典中的每个键，看看它的值是否(也是)一个字典。如果不是，打印密钥，然后删除它。但是，如果键的值是一个字典，则打印该键，然后将该值的键附加到堆栈的末尾，并以相同的方式开始处理该列表，对每个新的键列表进行递归重复。

如果每个列表中第二个键的值是一个字典，那么在几轮之后，你会得到这样的结果:

[['key 1','key 2'],['key 2.1','key 2.2'],['key 2.2.1','key 2.2.2'],[`etc.`]]

这种方法的优点是缩进只是\t乘以堆栈的长度:

indent = "\t" * len(stack)

缺点是为了检查每个键，你需要散列到相关的子字典，尽管这可以通过列表理解和简单的for循环轻松处理:

path = [li[-1] for li in stack]
# The last key of every list of keys in the stack

sub = root
for p in path:
    sub = sub[p]


if type(sub) == dict:
    stack.append(sub.keys()) # And so on

注意，这种方法将要求清除尾随的空列表，并删除后跟空列表的任何列表中的最后一个键(当然，这可能会创建另一个空列表，等等)。

还有其他方法来实现这个方法，但希望这能给你一个基本的想法。

编辑:如果您不想进行所有这些操作，pprint模块将以良好的格式打印嵌套字典。

下面是我根据sth的注释写的函数。它的工作原理与json相同。转储与缩进，但我使用制表符而不是缩进的空间。在Python 3.2+中，您可以直接将缩进指定为'\t'，但在2.7中不能。

def pretty_dict(d):
    def pretty(d, indent):
        for i, (key, value) in enumerate(d.iteritems()):
            if isinstance(value, dict):
                print '{0}"{1}": {{'.format( '\t' * indent, str(key))
                pretty(value, indent+1)
                if i == len(d)-1:
                    print '{0}}}'.format( '\t' * indent)
                else:
                    print '{0}}},'.format( '\t' * indent)
            else:
                if i == len(d)-1:
                    print '{0}"{1}": "{2}"'.format( '\t' * indent, str(key), value)
                else:
                    print '{0}"{1}": "{2}",'.format( '\t' * indent, str(key), value)
    print '{'
    pretty(d,indent=1)
    print '}'

Ex:

>>> dict_var = {'a':2, 'b':{'x':3, 'y':{'t1': 4, 't2':5}}}
>>> pretty_dict(dict_var)
{
    "a": "2",
    "b": {
        "y": {
            "t2": "5",
            "t1": "4"
        },
        "x": "3"
    }
}

这是我在编写一个需要在.txt文件中编写字典的类时想到的:

@staticmethod
def _pretty_write_dict(dictionary):

    def _nested(obj, level=1):
        indentation_values = "\t" * level
        indentation_braces = "\t" * (level - 1)
        if isinstance(obj, dict):
            return "{\n%(body)s%(indent_braces)s}" % {
                "body": "".join("%(indent_values)s\'%(key)s\': %(value)s,\n" % {
                    "key": str(key),
                    "value": _nested(value, level + 1),
                    "indent_values": indentation_values
                } for key, value in obj.items()),
                "indent_braces": indentation_braces
            }
        if isinstance(obj, list):
            return "[\n%(body)s\n%(indent_braces)s]" % {
                "body": "".join("%(indent_values)s%(value)s,\n" % {
                    "value": _nested(value, level + 1),
                    "indent_values": indentation_values
                } for value in obj),
                "indent_braces": indentation_braces
            }
        else:
            return "\'%(value)s\'" % {"value": str(obj)}

    dict_text = _nested(dictionary)
    return dict_text

现在，如果我们有一个这样的字典:

some_dict = {'default': {'ENGINE': [1, 2, 3, {'some_key': {'some_other_key': 'some_value'}}], 'NAME': 'some_db_name', 'PORT': '', 'HOST': 'localhost', 'USER': 'some_user_name', 'PASSWORD': 'some_password', 'OPTIONS': {'init_command': 'SET foreign_key_checks = 0;'}}}

我们这样做:

print(_pretty_write_dict(some_dict))

我们得到:

{
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': [
            '1',
            '2',
            '3',
            {
                'some_key': {
                    'some_other_key': 'some_value',
                },
            },
        ],
        'NAME': 'some_db_name',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'init_command': 'SET foreign_key_checks = 0;',
        },
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'USER': 'some_user_name',
        'PASSWORD': 'some_password',
        'PORT': '',
    },
}

至于已经做了什么，我没有看到任何漂亮的打印机，至少模仿python解释器的输出非常简单的格式，所以这里是我的:

class Formatter(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.types = {}
        self.htchar = '\t'
        self.lfchar = '\n'
        self.indent = 0
        self.set_formater(object, self.__class__.format_object)
        self.set_formater(dict, self.__class__.format_dict)
        self.set_formater(list, self.__class__.format_list)
        self.set_formater(tuple, self.__class__.format_tuple)

    def set_formater(self, obj, callback):
        self.types[obj] = callback

    def __call__(self, value, **args):
        for key in args:
            setattr(self, key, args[key])
        formater = self.types[type(value) if type(value) in self.types else object]
        return formater(self, value, self.indent)

    def format_object(self, value, indent):
        return repr(value)

    def format_dict(self, value, indent):
        items = [
            self.lfchar + self.htchar * (indent + 1) + repr(key) + ': ' +
            (self.types[type(value[key]) if type(value[key]) in self.types else object])(self, value[key], indent + 1)
            for key in value
        ]
        return '{%s}' % (','.join(items) + self.lfchar + self.htchar * indent)

    def format_list(self, value, indent):
        items = [
            self.lfchar + self.htchar * (indent + 1) + (self.types[type(item) if type(item) in self.types else object])(self, item, indent + 1)
            for item in value
        ]
        return '[%s]' % (','.join(items) + self.lfchar + self.htchar * indent)

    def format_tuple(self, value, indent):
        items = [
            self.lfchar + self.htchar * (indent + 1) + (self.types[type(item) if type(item) in self.types else object])(self, item, indent + 1)
            for item in value
        ]
        return '(%s)' % (','.join(items) + self.lfchar + self.htchar * indent)

要初始化它:

pretty = Formatter()

它可以支持为已定义的类型添加格式化器，你只需要为它创建一个函数，然后用set_formater将它绑定到你想要的类型:

from collections import OrderedDict

def format_ordereddict(self, value, indent):
    items = [
        self.lfchar + self.htchar * (indent + 1) +
        "(" + repr(key) + ', ' + (self.types[
            type(value[key]) if type(value[key]) in self.types else object
        ])(self, value[key], indent + 1) + ")"
        for key in value
    ]
    return 'OrderedDict([%s])' % (','.join(items) +
           self.lfchar + self.htchar * indent)
pretty.set_formater(OrderedDict, format_ordereddict)

由于历史原因，我保留了之前的漂亮打印机，它是一个函数而不是一个类，但它们都可以以同样的方式使用，类版本只是允许更多:

def pretty(value, htchar='\t', lfchar='\n', indent=0):
    nlch = lfchar + htchar * (indent + 1)
    if type(value) is dict:
        items = [
            nlch + repr(key) + ': ' + pretty(value[key], htchar, lfchar, indent + 1)
            for key in value
        ]
        return '{%s}' % (','.join(items) + lfchar + htchar * indent)
    elif type(value) is list:
        items = [
            nlch + pretty(item, htchar, lfchar, indent + 1)
            for item in value
        ]
        return '[%s]' % (','.join(items) + lfchar + htchar * indent)
    elif type(value) is tuple:
        items = [
            nlch + pretty(item, htchar, lfchar, indent + 1)
            for item in value
        ]
        return '(%s)' % (','.join(items) + lfchar + htchar * indent)
    else:
        return repr(value)

使用它:

>>> a = {'list':['a','b',1,2],'dict':{'a':1,2:'b'},'tuple':('a','b',1,2),'function':pretty,'unicode':u'\xa7',("tuple","key"):"valid"}
>>> a
{'function': <function pretty at 0x7fdf555809b0>, 'tuple': ('a', 'b', 1, 2), 'list': ['a', 'b', 1, 2], 'dict': {'a': 1, 2: 'b'}, 'unicode': u'\xa7', ('tuple', 'key'): 'valid'}
>>> print(pretty(a))
{
    'function': <function pretty at 0x7fdf555809b0>,
    'tuple': (
        'a',
        'b',
        1,
        2
    ),
    'list': [
        'a',
        'b',
        1,
        2
    ],
    'dict': {
        'a': 1,
        2: 'b'
    },
    'unicode': u'\xa7',
    ('tuple', 'key'): 'valid'
}

相对于其他版本:

This solution looks directly for object type, so you can pretty print almost everything, not only list or dict. Doesn't have any dependancy. Everything is put inside a string, so you can do whatever you want with it. The class and the function has been tested and works with Python 2.7 and 3.4. You can have all type of objects inside, this is their representations and not theirs contents that being put in the result (so string have quotes, Unicode string are fully represented ...). With the class version, you can add formatting for every object type you want or change them for already defined ones. key can be of any valid type. Indent and Newline character can be changed for everything we'd like. Dict, List and Tuples are pretty printed.
