"""
Python pretty-print (pprint)
============================

The python pretty-print system was once the default outputter. It simply
passes the return data through to ``pprint.pformat`` and prints the results.

CLI Example:

.. code-block:: bash

salt '*' foo.bar --out=pprint

Example output:

.. code-block:: python

{'saltmine': {'foo': {'bar': 'baz',
                          'dictionary': {'abc': 123, 'def': 456},
                          'list': ['Hello', 'World']}}}
"""

import pprint

# Define the module's virtual name
__virtualname__ = "pprint"

def __virtual__():
    """
    Change the name to pprint
    """
    return __virtualname__

def output(data, **kwargs):  # pylint: disable=unused-argument
    """
    Print out via pretty print
    """
    if isinstance(data, Exception):
        data = str(data)
    if "output_indent" in __opts__ and __opts__["output_indent"] >= 0:
        return pprint.pformat(data, indent=__opts__["output_indent"])
    return pprint.pformat(data)
