Improve truncated printing for list-like objects

[keviny2]

print_truncated() does not handle other list-like objects (e.g. numpy arrays), making for messy outputs for __repr__().

https://github.com/BiocPy/BiocUtils/blob/e4d9f8bb4b89e709ea62daa119ceddd6b395334f/src/biocutils/print_truncated.py#L26-L29

Current behavior

When executing in a jupyter notebook, the output is not truncated:

import numpy as np
from biocframe import BiocFrame

bframe = BiocFrame(
 {
 "x": np.random.normal(size=40),
 "y": np.random.normal(size=40)
 }
)
bframe

>>
BiocFrame(data={'x': array([ 0.30948609, -1.38289079, -0.43285149, 0.37465808, 0.47068355,
 0.72958816, -1.99939489, 0.22849544, -0.15900403, 0.1183286 ,
 -0.12025139, -0.31011542, 0.2261699 , -1.23073433, -0.98790469,
 0.37100134, 1.11801526, 1.89313668, -0.72167481, 1.21427698]), 'y': array([-0.96331348, 0.90240032, 0.45289567, 0.74154537, 0.09252068,
 -0.30991981, 0.81609081, -0.21092948, 0.17191497, 0.01036059,
 0.21667765, -0.35905261, -0.53184703, -0.64036229, 0.25275972,
 -0.31644878, -0.57082027, -0.39594529, 2.26653958, -0.31656108])}, number_of_rows=20, column_names=['x', 'y'])

Proposed solution

As a start,

elif isinstance(x, (list, np.ndarray)):
 return print_truncated_list(
 list(x), truncated_to=truncated_to, full_threshold=full_threshold
 )

Question

Should we handle other list-like objects?

[jkanche]

or should we forward this to numpy's own __repr__ ?
