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. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
