Interesting, but that could start to get a little too messy I think. I'd 
rather just have the 'authentic' code in my program (i.e. pprint.pprint) 
instead of the py.std prefix as well.

It's a good point not to pollute the builtin namespace with too much, so 
I think I'd rather just import pprint when needed instead of using the 
py.std call.
