     logic is used to find a function to format an given object.

        :attr:`print_method`. If is does, that object is passed to that method

 """
 Python advanced pretty printer.  This pretty printer is intended to
 replace the old `pprint` python module which does not allow developers
 to provide their own pretty print callbacks.
 
 This module is based on ruby's `prettyprint.rb` library by `Tanaka Akira`.
 
 
 Example Usage
 -------------
 
 To directly print the representation of an object use `pprint`::
 
     from pretty import pprint
     pprint(complex_object)
 
 To get a string of the output use `pretty`::
 
     from pretty import pretty
     string = pretty(complex_object)
 
 
 Extending
 ---------
 
 The pretty library allows developers to add pretty printing rules for their
 own objects.  This process is straightforward.  All you have to do is to
 add a `_repr_pretty_` method to your object and call the methods on the
 pretty printer passed::
 
     class MyObject(object):
 
         def _repr_pretty_(self, p, cycle):
             ...
 
 Depending on the python version you want to support you have two
 possibilities.  The following list shows the python 2.5 version and the
 compatibility one.
 
 
 Here the example implementation of a `_repr_pretty_` method for a list
 subclass for python 2.5 and higher (python 2.5 requires the with statement
 __future__ import)::
 
     class MyList(list):
 
         def _repr_pretty_(self, p, cycle):
             if cycle:
                 p.text('MyList(...)')
             else:
                 with p.group(8, 'MyList([', '])'):
                     for idx, item in enumerate(self):
                         if idx:
                             p.text(',')
                             p.breakable()
                         p.pretty(item)
 
 The `cycle` parameter is `True` if pretty detected a cycle.  You *have* to
 react to that or the result is an infinite loop.  `p.text()` just adds
 non breaking text to the output, `p.breakable()` either adds a whitespace
 or breaks here.  If you pass it an argument it's used instead of the
 default space.  `p.pretty` prettyprints another object using the pretty print
 method.
 
 The first parameter to the `group` function specifies the extra indentation
 of the next line.  In this example the next item will either be not
 breaked (if the items are short enough) or aligned with the right edge of
 the opening bracked of `MyList`.
 
 If you want to support python 2.4 and lower you can use this code::
 
     class MyList(list):
 
         def _repr_pretty_(self, p, cycle):
             if cycle:
                 p.text('MyList(...)')
             else:
                 p.begin_group(8, 'MyList([')
                 for idx, item in enumerate(self):
                     if idx:
                         p.text(',')
                         p.breakable()
                     p.pretty(item)
                 p.end_group(8, '])')
 
 If you just want to indent something you can use the group function
 without open / close parameters.  Under python 2.5 you can also use this
 code::
 
     with p.indent(2):
         ...
 
 Or under python2.4 you might want to modify ``p.indentation`` by hand but
 this is rather ugly.
