Eric V. Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment:
I realize it might break some corner cases, but I really think we should re-write pprint to use functools.singledispatch. Or if the breakage isn't acceptable, abandon it and create a new module that does use singledispatch. That way it would be easily extensible. pprint currently works with a dispatch table (_dispatch), it's just hidden. @fdrake: From the comments: "If you find it useful, thank small children who sleep at night". I assume they're not small anymore! ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39994> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
