Comment #4 on issue 1666 by pekka.klarck: Use Python pprint module inside
Log keywords
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1666
It's obviously true that using Log Dictionary/List is problematic if you
don't know the type of the object you are logging. As you pointed out, they
don't handle nested structures that well either.
The problem that pprint adds extra quotes around strings still remains. We
cannot simple remove the quotes because pprint also escapes possible
internal quotes and we needed to unescape them.
Some possibilities we could consider instead of using pprint in Log by
default:
1) Make pprint optional by adding new argument controlling it (e.g.
`pretty=False`). We already have similar `repr` argument (issue 1584).
2) Use pprint automatically when `repr=True`.
3) Add new keyword for this usage. A benefit would be that it could accept
same `indent`, `width`, and `depth` arguments as pprint itself. Not sure
how often they would be useful, though.
