Python pprint Exercise - Get project information limiting the results to a certain level

Python pprint: Exercise-6 with Solution

Write a Python program to fetch information about a project (i.e. PyPI) using pprint() function. Limit the result to a certain level and specify the width of the content.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import json
import pprint
from urllib.request import urlopen
with urlopen('https://pypi.org/pypi/aioxmpp/json') as resp:
    project_info = json.load(resp)['info']

pprint.pprint(project_info, depth = 1, width = 160)

Sample Output:
