View Dataset from script console

Sorry, I'm on vacation, but family is napping, so I get to play. Yes, this is how I relax. Don't judge.
EDIT: Added option for printing from Perspective. Sorry, not quite ready for prime time. :roll_eyes:

def printDataSet(datasetIn):
	from itertools import izip
	import ast
	if 'PropertyTreeScriptWrapper$ArrayWrapper' in str(type(datasetIn)):
		headers = datasetIn[0].keys()
		data = []
		for row in datasetIn:
			data.append([item.value for item in row.values()])
		
		datasetIn = system.dataset.toDataSet(headers, data)
		
	# Get Row and Column counts
	nrows = datasetIn.getRowCount()
	ncols = datasetIn.getColumnCount()
        		        			
	# Get max length of row labels
	rowLen = len(max(['row']+[unicode(i) for i in range(nrows)], key=len))
	# Get column names
	colNames = datasetIn.getColumnNames()
	# initialize lists to process columns
	headerList = []
	colData = []
	maxLen = []
	# Process columns
	for i, col in izip(range(ncols), colNames):
		# Get column as list, converting all elemenst to unicode strings
		colIn = ([unicode(element) for element in list(datasetIn.getColumnAsList(i))])
		# Get max lentgh of the column, including the column name
		maxLen = len(max([col]+colIn, key=len))
		# Append data as left justified strings.
		# ljust() will automatically pad to the max string length
		colData.append([element.ljust(maxLen) for element in colIn])
		# Append column name, also using the max string length
		headerList.append(col.ljust(maxLen))
	# Concatenate the header string and print it.
	headerString= 'row'.ljust(rowLen) + ' | ' + ' | '.join(headerList)
	
	print headerString
	# Print a bunch of dashes the same length as the header string
	print'-' * len(headerString)
	# Print the rows
	for row in enumerate(izip(*colData)):
		print unicode(row[0]).ljust(rowLen) + ' | ' + ' | '.join(row[1])

Sample output:
