Ben, I don't think there is any value is opening more issues like pprint-doesn't-handle-object-x (named tuples, defautdicts, deques, generators, etc). As it is currently designed, pprint doesn't offer usable hooks and it is not easy to build-out to handle new object types. For the most part, users just cast to a list before calling pprint. ISTM, the RightAnswer(tm) is to overhaul pprint and add hooks for handling new objects. Ideally, there would be flexible print options and reprlib-like features for limiting output and for marking recursive constructs with "..." It would be better to start fresh than to continually pile on to the current hodge-podge. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5131> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
