We need a more generic solution that allows multi-line reprs for a variety of types. Here is an example that doesn't involve named tuples: >>> pprint(s, width=15) [OrderedDict([('x', 30000000000), ('y', 4000000000), ('z', 5000000000)]), OrderedDict([('x', 6000000000), ('y', 70000000), ('z', 8000000000)])] What we want is to have it print like regular dictionaries do: >>> pprint([dict(p) for p in s], width=15) [{'x': 30000000000, 'y': 4000000000, 'z': 5000000000}, {'x': 6000000000, 'y': 70000000, 'z': 8000000000}] It would also be nice if pprint could accept arguments telling it how to format various types: >>> pprint(s, width=15, format={int: '15,'}) [{'x': ' 30,000,000,000', 'y': ' 4,000,000,000', 'z': ' 5,000,000,000'}, {'x': ' 6,000,000,000', 'y': ' 70,000,000', 'z': ' 8,000,000,000'}] ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7434> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
