\var{stream} keyword; the only method used on the stream object is the

PrettyPrinter adopts \code{sys.stdout}. Three additional parameters

added for each recursive level is specified by \var{indent}; the

default is one. Other values can cause output to look a little odd,

but can make nesting easier to spot. The number of levels which may

be printed is controlled by \var{depth}; if the data structure being

printed is too deep, the next contained level is replaced by

\samp{...}. By default, there is no constraint on the depth of the
