indent#

indent(prefix=None, text=None, suffix='\n', n=0, pretty=False, width=70, **kwargs)[source]#

Small wrapper to make textwrap more user friendly.

Parameters:

prefix (str) – text to begin with (optional)
text (str) – text to wrap
suffix (str) – what to put on the end (by default, a newline)
n (int) – if prefix is not specified, the size of the indent
pretty (bool) – whether to use pprint to format the text
width (int) – maximum width before wrapping (if None, don’t wrap)
kwargs (dict) – passed to textwrap.fill()

Examples:

prefix = 'and then they said: '
text = 'blah '*100
print(sc.indent(prefix, text))

print('my fave is: ' + sc.indent(text=rand(100), n=12))
