I don't understand how it would be useful in the pprint module if it can't be useful as a general function. The general intent is the same: print something in a "nice" way. Just the nice way is different depending on the situations: if my bytes object is simply a bunch of HTTP headers, I don't want to have a hexdump. > An alternative option is first output a bytes object as is (perhaps > splitting it on multiple line as in issue17530) and then output a > hexdamp as a comment. > > [b'\x7fELF\x01\x01\x01\x00\x00\n' > b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x03\x00\x01' > # 7F 45 4C 46 01 01 01 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 | .ELF............ > # 02 00 03 00 01 | ..... > ] This won't work very nicely in smaller display widths. You'll need too many lines to represent a bytes object. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17868> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
