Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Am rejecting this request because it complicates pprint and makes it harder to 
extend.  Most use cases of pprint either don't need this or have output 
requirements more complicated than proposed (i.e. adding fixed width columns 
for tabular output, etc).

Also, the current design of pprint doesn't know in advance the width of 
objects, so a decision to start with multi-column may be invalidated when wider 
data is encountered later.
