It handles collections like defaultdict and Counter, numpy arrays, and unicode characters more intelligently than the standard library version, printing unescaped unicode where safe and formatting complex nested structures with clearer indentation.\n\nThe package offers multiple usage modes: as a direct import replacement, a command-line tool (pypprint), an ipython extension, or via monkeypatching to replace the standard pprint. It has no runtime dependencies and installs cleanly, but is no longer maintained\u2014the last release was 2018-07-01 and development has been abandoned, meaning it may not work correctly with recent Python versions or libraries.","worth_installing":"No. While pprintpp is lightweight and has no dependencies, it is abandoned (last release 2018-07-01, last commit 2022-12-24) and will not be maintained for modern Python versions.
