mbr / asciitree Goto Github PK

Since there was a critical fix to make this package work for Python 3 (#4), could a new release be pushed to PyPI? Presumably this would be 0.3.2?

Would be nice if there was a way to check if a child will have children or not through some mechanism in Style. Not entirely sure what that would be yet, but it would be really handy for handling cases like opening and closing tags.

To provide a concrete example, am trying to generate some HTML and CSS to make a visualization like this one (item 4) The HTML code being generated needs to look something like this. So would want to be able to add <li>/</li> tags based on whether children are present or not.

When running the example I am getting this:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/asciitree/__init__.py", line 48, in __call__
    return '\n'.join(self.render(self.traverse.get_root(tree)))
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/asciitree/traversal.py", line 29, in get_root
    return tree.items()[0]
TypeError: 'dict_items' object does not support indexing

I am on linux 64 with python 3.5.2

When using unicode labels you currently get a crash on Python 2. Monkey-patching like this fixes the crash:

import asciitree
asciitree.drawing.Style.label_format = u"{}"

... but it would of course be nicer not to have to do that.

Can I ask for a "u" to be added the the formatting string in asciitree.drawing.Style.label_format?

Hi,

I would love to run the test suite while building packages for openSUSE distro. It would be the easiest if the tests/ directory was also packaged in the distribution tarball. Could you please add to MANIFEST.in file this one line

recursive-include tests *

, please?

Thank you.

I was thinking of using asciitree to represent arithmetic expressions as trees, eg (2 * 2):

*
 +-- 2
 +-- 2

But this seems not to work, because one 2 overwrites the other, in the OrderedDict.

Here is my code:

from asciitree import LeftAligned
from collections import OrderedDict as OD
tree = {
    '*': OD([
        ('2', {}),
        ('2', {})
        ])
    }
tr = LeftAligned()
print(tr(tree))

and output:

*
 +-- 2

I guess the workaround would be to invent unique names for each 2?

In some contexts it might be desired to use a non-breaking space (U+00A0) or some other larger space character rather than the "ordinary" spaces the library currently uses.

The best place to add this would probably be as another character in the BoxStyle.gfx dict, although you may have a better idea.

In the event that one needs to customize how the first child appears, it would be nice to have first_child_head and first_child_tail. Also would be nice if LeftAligned handled the case of the first child separately.

Thanks for this useful library! I'm just filing this issue to collect interest in having wheels for this library.

This is very useful and does exactly what I need!

Thanks!
