[issue8228] pprint, single/multiple items per line parameter

[Dmitry Chichkov]

New submission from Dmitry Chichkov <dchichkov at gmail.com>:

I've run into a case where pprint isn't really pretty. 

import pprint
pprint.PrettyPrinter().pprint([1]*100)

Prints a lengthy column of '1'; Not pretty at all. Look:

[1,
 1,
 1,
