Ben, I don't think there is any value is opening more issues like pprint-doesn't-handle-object-x (named tuples, defautdicts, deques, generators, etc).
As it is currently designed, pprint doesn't offer usable hooks and it is not easy to build-out to handle new object types. For the most part, users just cast to a list before calling pprint.
ISTM, the RightAnswer(tm) is to overhaul pprint and add hooks for handling new objects. Ideally, there would be flexible print options and reprlib-like features for limiting output and for marking recursive constructs with "..."
It would be better to start fresh than to continually pile on to the current hodge-podge. |
