## What it is
pdir2 is a Python library that provides a prettier, colorized, and grouped alternative to the built-in dir() function for inspecting objects. It supports attribute searching and chainable filtering (public, own, methods, properties) and works in REPLs like IPython, ptpython, bpython, and Jupyter.

## Use cases
- pretty print object attributes in python repl
- search attributes of an object by name
- filter an object's own public methods
- replace dir() with a nicer output
- inspect object attributes in jupyter notebook

## When to choose
- you frequently explore unfamiliar objects interactively in a Python REPL
- you want grouped, colorized, searchable attribute listings instead of raw dir() output
- you need chainable filters like public own methods

## When to avoid
- you need programmatic introspection in production code rather than interactive exploration
- you are not working in Python

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, cli
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: dir, introspection, repl, pretty-printing, ipython, command-line
