<p>This module provides a collection of utilities for working with
pretty-printers.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>PrettyPrinter (<var>name</var>, <var>subprinters</var>=None)</code></dt>
<dd><p>This class specifies the API that makes &lsquo;<samp>info pretty-printer</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>enable pretty-printer</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>disable pretty-printer</samp>&rsquo; work.
Pretty-printers should generally inherit from this class.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>SubPrettyPrinter (<var>name</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><p>For printers that handle multiple types, this class specifies the
corresponding API for the subprinters.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>RegexpCollectionPrettyPrinter (<var>name</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><p>Utility class for handling multiple printers, all recognized via
regular expressions.
See <a href="Writing-a-Pretty_002dPrinter.html#Writing-a-Pretty_002dPrinter">Writing a Pretty-Printer</a>, for an example.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>FlagEnumerationPrinter (<var>name</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><p>A pretty-printer which handles printing of <code>enum</code> values.  Unlike
<small>GDB</small>&rsquo;s built-in <code>enum</code> printing, this printer attempts to
work properly when there is some overlap between the enumeration
constants.  The argument <var>name</var> is the name of the printer and
also the name of the <code>enum</code> type to look up.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>register_pretty_printer (<var>obj</var>, <var>printer</var>, <var>replace</var>=False)</code></dt>
<dd><p>Register <var>printer</var> with the pretty-printer list of <var>obj</var>.
If <var>replace</var> is <code>True</code> then any existing copy of the printer
is replaced.  Otherwise a <code>RuntimeError</code> exception is raised
if a printer with the same name already exists.
</p></dd>
