New submission from Danylo Hlynskyi <abcz2.upr...@gmail.com>:
First, here's an example using str():
```
class NiceObject:
def __str__(self):
return str(self.__dict__)
def __repr__(self):
return str(self)
s = NiceObject()
s.self = s
```
This outputs:
```
>>> s
{'self': {...}}
```
When I replace str() call with pprint.saferepr(), I end up in infinite
recursion.
```
import pprint
class ReallyNiceObject:
def __str__(self):
return pprint.saferepr(self.__dict__)
def __repr__(self):
return str(self)
```
Same happens for pprint.pformat(), with depth set.
Is this expected behavior?
