[New-bugs-announce] [issue2074] pprint._safe_repr() unsafe on ordering differently types objects with same str represenation

[Simon Percivall]

New submission from Simon Percivall:

_safe_repr() tries to handle the case where two objects are unorderable by 
ordering on (str(type(key)), key, value), but this fails when 
str(type(key)) is equal for two objects, but key is different and 
unorderable. Easy fix: order just on the string representation.
