Indeed, instead of having a __pprint__ why not just allow a __repr__

The one thing missing from the array
module is the ability to directly access array values from C.

The array.array type is an excellent type for storing a large amount of
"native" elements, such as integers, chars, doubles, etc., without
involving the heavy machinery of numpy. It's both blazingly fast and
reasonably efficient with memory. The one thing missing from the array
module is the

still, I'd be grateful if someone could please try and take look at the
patches I've posted on bugs.python.org for smtplib, imaplib and poplib,

This sounds reasonable to me. A third-party module that implements

Somehow my mailclient managed to mess up my message, here

As I've mentioned, I've been re-examining from ground up the whole
state of affairs in writing a debugger.
One of the challenges of a debugger or any source-code analysis tool
is verifying that the source-code that the tool is reporting on
corresponds to the compiled object under execution. (For d

It does, but they may not contain characters of the category
