Printing nested dictionaries in nice readable fashion

Im looking to print a nested dictionary in a nice clean readable format. I have done the standard approach of printing dictionary keys and their values but as this is nested it doesnt present very well. Could someone explain how I could achieve the below formatting?

Host             Port    Service
192.168.1.200     80     IIS 7.5
                  443    IIS 7.5

192.168.1.201     22     SSHv.199

Dictionary Example

192.168.1.200 {'3389': 'Microsoft Terminal Service', '49160': 'Microsoft Windows RPC', '49163': 'Microsoft Windows RPC', '135': 'Microsoft Windows RPC', '49152': 'Microsoft Windows RPC', '49153': 'Microsoft Windows RPC'}

You can use formatting options with json.dumps:

>>> d={'server1':{'3389': 'Microsoft Terminal Service', '49160': 'Microsoft Windows RPC', '49163': 'Microsoft Windows RPC', '135': 'Microsoft Windows RPC', '49152': 'Microsoft Windows RPC', '49153':'Microsoft Windows RPC'},'server2':{'morekeys':'morevalues'}}
>>> print json.dumps(d, indent=4)
{
    "server1": {
        "3389": "Microsoft Terminal Service", 
        "49160": "Microsoft Windows RPC", 
        "49163": "Microsoft Windows RPC", 
        "135": "Microsoft Windows RPC", 
        "49152": "Microsoft Windows RPC", 
        "49153": "Microsoft Windows RPC"
    }, 
    "server2": {
        "morekeys": "morevalues"
    }
}
