I have been using the json.tool quite often by running
cat my-file.json | python -m json.tool
or (:%! python -m json.tool
in vim) to pretty print the json file, but I would like to customize the indentation level to 2 indentation spaces instead of default of 4. Unfortunately,json.tool
is hard-coded to use 4 spaces for indentation, so I am submitting this PR to enable this ability.BTW: This is my first PR to cpython, so any suggestions or feedback on this PR would be great :-)
