In Ubuntu pypprint is provided by python3-pprintpp package.

Unlike pprint, pprintpp strives to emit a readable, largely PEP8-compliant, representation of its input.

It also has explicit support for: the collections module (defaultdict and Counter) and numpy arrays.

Unicode characters, when possible, will be printed un-escaped. This is done by checking both the output stream’s encoding (defaulting to utf-8) and the character’s Unicode category. An effort is made to print only characters which will be visually unambiguous: letters and numbers will be printed un-escaped, spaces, combining characters, and control characters will be escaped.

Subclassess of built-in collection types which don’t define a new repr will have their class name explicitly added to their repr (while custom repr methods will be respected).
