pprint.pprint( [[[[[ ]]]]], depth=0)
AssertionError: depth must be > 0

pprint.pprint( [[[[[ ]]]]], depth=0.5)
[[...]]

pprint.pprint( [[[[[ ]]]]], depth=1)
[[[...]]]

I would like to see the root (that is [...]) with depth=0 (or depth=1 if you insist), either way, [[[...]]] for depth=1 is incorrect.

I created patch 1712742 to fix this. BTW, I think that a depth of 1 should mean the top level object.

The correct patch number is 1713041. Neal, assigning to you so you can close this at the same time as the patch.

Of course. Thanks for the correction.
