# salt.output.pprint_out

## 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:

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

Example output:

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

salt.output.pprint_out.output(data, **kwargs)

  Print out via pretty print
