For instance:  output of running print_r on a very short dictionary from

Array

)

And running pprint on the same dict in Python:

{'key1': 'thing1', 'key2': 'thing2', 'key3': 'thing3'}


I finally decided that a good project would be building a quick function
that recreates the print_r function, and I got that working.  New
function output, in Python:

(
     [key3] => thing3
     [key2] => thing2
     [key1] => thing1
)


You should probably use {} instead of () as the delimiter to indicate that the thing is a dictionary and not a tuple. but otherwise that's a good starter project.
