pprint.isrecursive: is it ever recursive? (a bug?)

[Roman Suzi]

Hello!

I was looking at pprint code and out of curiosity tried
to repr self-referencing list:

>>> import pprint
>>> l=[1,2]
>>> l[0]=l
>>> pprint.isreadable(l)
0
>>> pprint.isrecursive(l)
0
>>> l
[[...], 2]
>>> pprint.saferepr(l)
'[<Recursion on list with id=135078960>, 2]'
>>>


However, it seems to me that isrecursive(l) must be 1, not 0.
Or do I misunderstand it's meaning?


Sincerely yours, Roman Suzi
