The heading comment to pprint reads: # This is a simple little module I wrote to make life easier. I didn't # see anything quite like it in the library, though I may have overlooked # something. I wrote this when I was trying to read some heavily nested # tuples with fairly non-descriptive content. This is modeled very much # after Lisp/Scheme - style pretty-printing of lists. If you find it # useful, thank small children who sleep at night.
Is the last sentence an obscure reference or in-joke? Can someone explain it? I don't get it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
