Hi Parth,
It is on the agenda to support this for pprint, but I don't know
exactly when.
In the meantime, arbitrary bases *are* supported in the common lisp
compatible format function (cl-format) which is also part of
clojure.contrib.pprint.
The interesting directives are ~X, ~B, and ~bR, where b is the base of
interest. For example,
(cl-format nil "~X" 256) => "100"
(cl-format nil "~12r" 256) => "194"
(cl-format true "~{~X ~}~%" [2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256])
prints to *out*:
2 4 8 10 20 40 80 100
For all the dirt on using radix, look at the Common Lisp Hyperspec:
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/22_cb.htm
More info about the clojure implementation of format here:
http://code.google.com/p/clojure-contrib/wiki/CommonLispFormat (a
little out of date and about to be moved).
HTH,
Tom
