[New-bugs-announce] [issue17530] pprint could use line continuation for long bytes literals

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

Same as issue #17150: 

>>> pprint.pprint({"a": b"\x00\xff" * 20})
{'a': b'\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff'}

... could be better formatted as:

>>> pprint.pprint({"a": b"\x00\xff" * 20})
{'a': b'\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00'
      b'\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff'
      b'\x00\xff\x00\xff\x00\xff'}
