New submission from Steven DeRose <sder...@acm.org>:
The doc for pprint.PrettyPrinter at https://docs.python.org/3/library/pprint.html says: If sort_dicts is true (the default), dictionaries will be formatted with their keys sorted, otherwise they will display in insertion order I believe the insertion order is not even known by normal dicts (only by OrderedDict), so I think the last phrase must be wrong. If it's somehow correct, it deserves explaining.... ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 360630 nosy: TextGeek, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Incorrect description of sorting for PrettyPrinter versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39444> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
