Today I learned about a relatively new PEP to improve pretty printing in Python. 🤩

#Python

PEP 813 – The Pretty Print Protocol | peps.python.org

This PEP describes the “pretty print protocol”, a collection of changes proposed to make pretty printing more customizable and convenient.

@mahryekuh It's not accepted yet, so it's helpful to give feedback on the thread, even if only to say you like and would use it.

PEP 813 - The Pretty Print Protocol

A couple of the elder statesmen are happy to announce PEP 813, a proposal to build-in optional pretty printing for print(), str.format(), and f-strings, and to define a protocol classes can implement to participate in and customize how their instances are pretty printed. Enjoy, and let the games begin!

@mahryekuh I know it’s a waste of characters but I would have loved if the function name was prettyprint()

@mahryekuh This looks fantastic! I'd love to be able to pretty-print things without having to import anything.

Also, you can tell it's written by Barry because the example is a class representing a bass guitar, not Foo. I love concrete examples in documentation and proposals.
