DumpMachine with a python host program

[geduardo]

Originally opened by @jsvandyke86 here

Hello,

I'm going through this tutorial ("Qubit-level programming") using a python host program, and it seems like DumpMachine() is not quite working as expected. Rather than the output given on the tutorial webpage, it seems to be producing a dictionary (or something like that) which contains multiple different representations of desired information (plain text, html, etc.). I'm not quite sure how to turn this into human-readable format. Thanks for the help! Here is the output that I get:

{'text/plain': '|0⟩\t0.35355339059327384 + 0𝑖\n|1⟩\t0.35355339059327384 + 0𝑖\n|2⟩\t0.35355339059327384 + 0𝑖\n|3⟩\t0.35355339059327384 + 0𝑖\n|4⟩\t0.35355339059327384 + 0𝑖\n|5⟩\t0.35355339059327384 + 0𝑖\n|6⟩\t0.35355339059327384 + 0𝑖\n|7⟩\t0.35355339059327384 + 0𝑖', 'text/html': '\r\n

I think this may have been fixed as the result of improving some of our display data handling recently. @anjbur, let's try and see if we can reproduce this; if not, I'm happy to recommend closing the issue as Resolved-Done. Thanks!
