how to pretty-print Python dict with unicode?

[kj]

Is there a simple way to get Python to pretty-print a dict whose
values contain Unicode?  (Of course, the goal here is that these
printed values are human-readable.)

If I run the following simple script:

from pprint import pprint
x = u'\u6c17\u304c\u9055\u3046'
print '{%s: %s}' % (u'x', x)
print {u'x': x}
pprint({u'x': x})

The first print statement produces perfectly readable Japanese,
but the remaining statements both produce the line

{u'x': u'\u6c17\u304c\u9055\u3046'}

I've tried everything I can think of (including a lot of crazy
stuff) short of re-writing pprint from scratch (which I think would
be faster than grokking it and hacking at it).

Isn't there an easier way to do this?

Thanks!
