Not with Python 2.4 and if the printed object is too short::

  $ python
  Python 2.4.3 (#2, Mar  7 2008, 01:58:20)
  >>> a = dict(foo='bar', bar='baz')
  >>> from pprint import pprint
  >>> pprint(a)
  {'foo': 'bar', 'bar': 'baz'}
  >>> sorted(a.items())
  [('bar', 'baz'), ('foo', 'bar')]
  >>> pprint(a, width=5)
  {'bar': 'baz',
   'foo': 'bar'}

Kind regards,
