Not really - I gave it a short test, but it resulted in a very long line.
Here's the head -c1000 of pprint'ing "aa", the hasher that stores all
profiles:

defaultdict(<function hasher at 0x1e9d320>, {u'/usr/lib/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread': defaultdict(<function hasher at 0x1e9d320>, {u'/usr/lib/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread': defaultdict(<function hasher at 0x1e9d320>, {'deny': defaultdict(<function hasher at 0x1e9d320>, {'path': defaultdict(<function hasher at 0x1e9d320>, {u'/dev/shm/pulse-shm-*': defaultdict(<function hasher at 0x1e9d320>, {'audit': set([]), 'mode': set(['::w', 'w'])}), u'/home/cb/.thumbnails/**': defaultdict(<function hasher at 0x1e9d320>, {'audit': set([]), 'mode': set(['r', '::r'])}), u'/home/cb/.pulse/': defaultdict(<function hasher at 0x1e9d320>, {'audit': set([]), 'mode': set(['::w', 'r', '::r', 'w'])}), u'/etc/fstab': defaultdict(<function hasher at 0x1e9d320>, {'audit': set([]), 'mode': set(['r', '::r'])}), u'/home/cb/.pulse-cookie': defaultdict(<function hasher at 0x1e9d320>, {'audit': set([]), 'mode': set(['::w', 'k', '::r', 'r', '::k', 'w'])})})}), 

That's not very readable IMHO ;-)

(If there's an option to add newlines at the right[tm] place and I just 
didn't find it, please tell me ;-)
