How do I make pprint do this

[jcervidae]

I cannot get pprint to format output how I would like. pydb does. I
tried grepping the source but still couldn't grok it. Here:

(Pydb) a = range(1,100)
(Pydb) pp a
[1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17,
18, 19, 20
21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37,
38, 39, 40
41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57,
58, 59, 60
61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77,
78, 79...]

It puts multiple elements on the same line. I can't work out how to
make it do that.

That's not the way pprint works. You have no control over how it arranges
its output. If you need something more flexible you'll have to roll your
own.

Or use Armin Ronacher's excellent pretty.py:
