[issue17530] pprint could use line continuation for long bytes literals

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Here is a patch based on current str formatting code (i.e. parenthesis are added only if needed, the space at the right is used more efficiently). It adds pprint support for bytes and bytearrays. Bytes are broken only at positions divisible by 4, so packed 32-bit ints are never broken.

Examples:

>>> pprint.pprint(bytes(range(128)))
(b'\x00\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t\n\x0b\x0c\r\x0e\x0f\x10\x11\x12\x13'
 b'\x14\x15\x16\x17\x18\x19\x1a\x1b\x1c\x1d\x1e\x1f !"#$%&\'()*+,-./01234567'
 b'89:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{'
 b'|}~\x7f')
>>> pprint.pprint({'abcdefgh': bytes(range(128))})
{'abcdefgh': b'\x00\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t\n\x0b\x0c\r\x0e\x0f'
             b'\x10\x11\x12\x13\x14\x15\x16\x17\x18\x19\x1a\x1b\x1c\x1d\x1e\x1f'
             b' !"#$%&\'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ['
             b'\\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~\x7f'}
>>> pprint.pprint(bytearray(range(128)))
bytearray(b'\x00\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t\n\x0b\x0c\r\x0e\x0f'
          b'\x10\x11\x12\x13\x14\x15\x16\x17\x18\x19\x1a\x1b\x1c\x1d\x1e\x1f'
          b' !"#$%&\'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_'
          b'`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~\x7f')
>>> pprint.pprint({'abcdefgh': bytearray(range(128))})
{'abcdefgh': bytearray(b'\x00\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t\n\x0b'
                       b'\x0c\r\x0e\x0f\x10\x11\x12\x13\x14\x15\x16\x17'
                       b'\x18\x19\x1a\x1b\x1c\x1d\x1e\x1f !"#$%&\'()*+,-./0123'
                       b'456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_`abcdefg'
                       b'hijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~\x7f')}
