Perhaps <['a', 'b', ...]> ? The list display is familiar to everyone; the surrounding <> make it clear that it's not really a list without adding much noise. Another idea would be <dict_items: ['a', 'b', ...]> which helpfully includes the name of the type of the object that was passed into pprint(). Regarding range(), I wonder if we really need to show more than 'range(0, 10)' -- anything besides that would be wasteful IMO. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
