Dear Lazyverse:
Is there a package in Python that will graphically show me a data structure (think lists of dictionaries with lists in there, etc.). I have a somewhat specific use-case for this to add a diagram to a book and I'm hoping I can get something that can output this in postscript / Graphviz but my searching is coming up with crap.
Thanks!
(Note: Prefer to have tools that folks have used that fit the above use-case. Speculation is appreciated but not needed at this time).

@oliof Thanks. I'm looking for something that can be inserted into a PDF so I'll need to determine if Mermaid will handle that. First impressions is that it's more for interactive HTML environments. Will check it out though. Thanks!

@craigmaloney python-mermaid maybe?

@w8emv Thanks. I think that might be a little more low-level than what I'm looking for but will give it a peek. Thanks!

In your place I would at least take a look at #PyGraphviz
https://pygraphviz.github.io/documentation/stable/index.html
"PyGraphviz is a #Python interface to the #Graphviz graph layout and visualization package. With PyGraphviz you can create, edit, read, write, and draw graphs using Python to access the Graphviz graph data structure and layout algorithms. PyGraphviz provides a similar programming interface to NetworkX (https://networkx.org)."
It has layout and drawing, and can also export to dot.

@danhon This looks like it'll do the trick. Thank you!
