[docs] [issue20310] Recommend using pprint for deterministic doctest

[Charles-Axel Dein]

New submission from Charles-Axel Dein:

I just thought that using pprint.pprint was an elegant solution to the non-deterministic order of repr(dict) in doctest. See for instance http://bugs.python.org/issue3332

Contrary to sorted(foo().items()):

- It provides a nice output that is exactly like a dict.
- It supports any number of nested dicts.
- It can be used in other cases as well to make doctests elegant.
