At some point, we need a modern redesign alternative to pprint. It could have its own __pprint__ method to communicate how it wants to be pretty printed. Until then, I think the existing pprint module should only grow custom support for classes that have a mostly consistent structure and usage pattern. SimpleNamespace, for example, made sense for a custom pprint handler because it is so dict like and is almost never customized. IMO, dataclasses are a bridge too far. Having pprint() guess what a dataclass intends is not far from try to guess what an arbitrary class intends. This is skating on thin ice. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43080> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
