I have a couple of doctests that assume that pprint will sort by key, yes. It makes the tests look quite a bit nicer by pprinting the output, and I get sorting (which matters for some older Pythons) for free. (I admit I don't actually use those tests with older Pythons, but the principle stands.) I don't see why we don't do the obvious, namely add the option to use "native" order to the PrettyPrinter class, with the default being backward compatible. -- Associate Professor Division of Policy and Planning Science http://turnbull/sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/ Faculty of Systems and Information Email: [email protected] University of Tsukuba Tel: 029-853-5175 Tennodai 1-1-1, Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
