[issue36705] Unexpected Behaviour of pprint.pprint

[Gavin D'souza]

Gavin D'souza <gavin18d at gmail.com> added the comment:

if pprint is called without parameters, it returns a TypeError

>>> pprint()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: pprint() missing 1 required positional argument: 'object'

it would be beneficial however to return an empty string or a new line character instead. An erroneous call would generate an unnecessary run-time error in a huge script
