Don't we have a pretty-print API - and isn't it spelled __str__ ?
Not really. If it were as simple as calling str(obj), there would be
no need for the pprint module.
I agree. And when I want to use pprint, there are usually additional
output formatting requirements I need that isn't a "one size fits all"
type of problem.
Like others, I am wary of over-expanding the list of special methods.
Perhap format strings could have a fourth conversion specifier, !p
(pretty) in addition to !s, !r, and !a.
