aiocoap.util.prettyprint module

A pretty-printer for known mime types

aiocoap.util.prettyprint.lexer_for_mime(mime)

A wrapper around pygments.lexers.get_lexer_for_mimetype that takes subtypes into consideration and catches the custom hexdump mime type.

aiocoap.util.prettyprint.pretty_print(message)

Given a CoAP message, reshape its payload into something human-readable. The return value is a triple (infos, mime, text) where text represents the payload, mime is a type that could be used to syntax-highlight the text (not necessarily related to the original mime type, eg. a report of some binary data that’s shaped like Markdown could use a markdown mime type), and some line of infos that give additional data (like the reason for a hex dump or the original mime type).
