@anand: as the names say, the depth parameter limits the depth of display while the length parameter limits the length. for example, with a data structure of a list of lists of lists and a depth of 2, only the first two levels would be shown, the third list at the 'bottom' would be replaced by '...' on the other hand, in a list with 10 entries and a length parameter of 5, only 5 list entries would be displayed. @Raymond: agreed. i have squeezed max_len into the existing code and ported that back to 2.6 for my current project; while it works, it is a bad hack. i would much more prefer bundling efforts into an extensible pprint rewrite. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13004> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
