Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
Add a new parameter to the pprint function that inserts a newline character (\n) after the opening parenthesis, and sets the indent to level * indent. With this parameter, pprint will format nested objects in a manner similar to how formatters like Black or Ruff format them.
>>> t = {'a':2, 'b':{'x':3, 'y':{'t1': 4, 't2':5}}} >>> pprint(t, indent=4, some_parameter=True) { "a": 2, "b": { "x": 3, "y": { "t1": 4, "t2": 5 } } }
With this change, pprint will print in a more width-compact manner, making it easier to read and copy-page pretty printed object to codebase wich follows similar formmating rule.
