In this particular case, they happen to produce the same output. If the sample data set were larger, you'd see that pprint adds newlines and white space to make the output line up neatly for human readers, and at the appropriate indentation level. repr just makes one big line. It all depends on what the OP intends to do with the string. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
