I am using pymongo driver to work with Mongodb using Python. Every time when I run a query in python shell, it returns me some output which is very difficult to understand. I have used the .pretty() option with mongo shell, which gives the output in a structured way.
I want to know whether there is any method like pretty() in pymongo, which can return output in a structured way ?

No PyMongo doesn't provide such method. It is only available in the shell.
You need to use the pprint function from the pprint module.
Actually you can also program it by yourself like:
db = connection.[dbname]
collection = db.[yourcollectionname]
for col in collection.find({}):
for keys in col.keys():
print ('{', keys, ":" , col[keys] , '}' )
I think this will be helpful or take it as an option.
No direct method to print out of pymongo in a structured way.
as the out of pymongo is dict
print(json.dumps('variable with out of pymongo query'))
this will serve your purpose i think
It probably depends on your IDE, not the pymongo itself. the pymongo is responsible for manipulating data and communicating with the mongodb. I am using Visual Studio with PTVS and I have such options provided from the Visual Studio. The PyCharm is also a good option for IDE that will allow you to watch your code variables and the JSON in a formatted structure.
