How to print a list in Python "nicely"

Question

In PHP, I can do this:

echo '<pre>'
print_r($array);
echo '</pre>'

In Python, I currently just do this:

print the_list

However, this will cause a big jumbo of data. Is there any way to print it nicely into a readable tree? (with indents)?

Answer 1

from pprint import pprint
pprint(the_list)
