Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: >IMHO pprint should be able to make a decent job of all the built in types
Agreed, already true as far as I know, and irrelevant. This issue is not about built-in types in the builtins module, as documented Lib Ref chapter 5 *Built-in Types*. Collections is an Python-coded stdlib module that happens to import a couple of its classes from _collections, written in C for speed. I agree with Raymond that pprint needs a generic solution better than special-casing one class after another. Your idea of using ABCs intriguing. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
