title: Pretty Print Output with Scrapy Shell
body: <p>I am trying to use Scrapy shell to explore the web pages before writing the crawled itself. One thing I find that it is very hard to read the Scrappy shell output. Is there anyway to make the output pretty print?</p>
  
  <p>For example, running the shell with the command</p>
  
  <pre><code>scrapy shell http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Python
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then issue the command with the shell:</p>
  
  <pre><code>response.css("ul.directory.dir-col &gt; li &gt; a::attr('href')")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>You can see the output is all staffed into online, hard to read. Is the Scrapy shell output format JSON? How to make it readable?</p>
