Is it possible to use a line break in a list in logger?

[Mastiff]

I have a couple of lists (over each room and their temperature) that runs when the temperature mode (day, night, no frost) is changed. The rooms are in a dictionary, so the print command is like this:

Code: Select all

print "\nTemperatur 3 (frostvakt):\n%s,"%(eg.globals.Temp3)

The eg.globals.Temp3 is the dictonary, so runing without the [Room] prints the full list. The \n's are of course line breaks so it's a bit easier to see. But is there a way to have an automatic line break in the list, so parts of it doesn't dissappear under the action tree? I could print one and one room, but that would mean that I'd have to edit the print command every time another room was added to the system, or an extra sensor came in.

Try this pprint:

Code: Select all

import pprint
pprint.pprint(eg.globals.Temp3)

Try this pprint:

Code: Select all

import pprint
pprint.pprint(eg.globals.Temp3)

Or you can do the following:

Code: Select all

print str(eg.globals.Temp3)

But I understand, that you want to have each item on a new line.
This can be done like this:

Code: Select all

print "\nTemperatur 3 (frostvakt):\n", "\n".join([str(item) for item in list(eg.globals.Temp3.iteritems())])

Thanks! But not quite. I don't want to use more lines then necessary, I just want to cut the line before it dissappears under the action tree. Splitting the line in two would do that. But that's perhaps a bit more difficult?

Oh, I did not understand well.
That's a little different situation.
Of course it is also possible.
But you must determine the rules by which the position to insert the end of the line is calculated.
Note: it may be necessary to choose a fixed-width font. Otherwise, it is difficult to specify any rules.

Eveything's possible, the impossible just takes a bit more time. Well, I guess that is going a bit overboard on that, so I'll just keep the one on each line format. Thanks!
