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?

Not yet, but Fred seems to have one.
