[Python-Dev] pprint and list/tuple/dict subclasses (original) (raw)

Currently pprint refuses to prettyprint subclasses of list, tuple and dict. Does it make sense to change that for 2.4?

Of course once repr() is overwritten by a subclass, pprint has to use that instead of its own formatting.

Sounds like a good plan. Do you have a suggested patch?
