Considering that the current: import pprint pprint.pprint(x)
is hardly lengthy, I can't see how either of the alternatives proposed are any better. > python.pprint.pprint(x) 6 characters shorter, but considerably more keystrokes if you are using pprint more than once. Is it worth adding the 'python' builtin to save an import statement? > import py > py.std.pprint.pprint(x) Longer, messy, and what's the actual point? Wouldn't: import pprint as pp pp.pprint(x) be better, standard *and* shorter? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
