-1 to letting a basic "__repr__" of any object depend on pprint. "__repr__" can end up in error objects which may get caught and never printed. The effort of pprint is not appropriate for those cases. We can easily deal with random orders in documentation by marking the printing of the dict with "#random" and testing the result for correctness in a more semantically meaningful way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
