Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Some thoughts:
* I'm not sure the terminal width will always be knowable, for example when using IDLE. * I often need smaller widths when printing short dicts and lists. The smaller widths better show the parallel structure. I think having it fill the width of my screen is rarely what I would want. * ISTM, this will cause reproducibility issues, esp for doctests. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29996> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
