OK, I've updated the patch.

Two other ideas for pprint:

The arguments for the PrettyPrinter constructor could be exposed in pprint() and pformat(): """ import pprint print.pprint(foo, indent=3, width=40) """

The indent argument could be a string, which is used for indenting, so indent=" " would be the same as indent=1, indent=" " would be like indent=3, and we could use something like indent="\t" or even indent="\033[1;30m...\033[0m".

Bye, Walter Dörwald
