See a comment at the start of the Lib/_sitebuiltins.py file. Yes, importing sys in the function is redundant.
> For instance, try list(range(40)) with the two options.
Well, I have opened issue19132 for this.
> This is not to mention doctest and other test breakage.
AFAIK doctests doesn't test output longer than 80 characters.
> I believe the majority consensus on python-ideas was to reject this until pprint is much improved, and then reconsider.
There are other pprint-related issue which are opened long time without any progress (e.g. issue7434). I intend making progress on issues which are required for fixing pprint enough to be reasonable replacement for displayhook.
