BUG: pandas.Timestamp misbehaves in deeply nested pprint on Python 3

[wesm]

I'm not sure if we can fix this in pandas, but I ran into this recently:

In [10]: d = {'foo': 1, 'bar': [{'what': {'footttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt': pd.Timestamp('2011-01-01')}}] * 10}

In [11]: pprint.pprint(d)
<SNIP>
lib/python3.5/pprint.py in _format_dict_items(self, items, stream, indent, allowance, context, level)
    344             self._format(ent, stream, indent + len(rep) + 2,
    345                          allowance if last else 1,
--> 346                          context, level)
    347             if not last:
    348                 write(delimnl)

lib/python3.5/pprint.py in _format(self, object, stream, indent, allowance, context, level)
    162         max_width = self._width - indent - allowance
    163         if len(rep) > max_width:
--> 164             p = self._dispatch.get(type(object).__repr__, None)
    165             if p is not None:
    166                 context[objid] = 1

TypeError: unhashable type: 'instancemethod'

not useful.......but

In [4]: pprint.saferepr(d)
Out[4]: "{'bar': [{'what': {'footttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt': Timestamp('2011-01-01 00:00:00')}}, {'what': {'footttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt': Timestamp('2011-01-01 00:00:00')}}, {'what': {'footttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt': Timestamp('2011-01-01 00:00:00')}}, {'what': {'footttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt': Timestamp('2011-01-01 00:00:00')}}, {'what': {'footttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt': Timestamp('2011-01-01 00:00:00')}}, {'what': {'footttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt': Timestamp('2011-01-01 00:00:00')}}, {'what': {'footttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt': Timestamp('2011-01-01 00:00:00')}}, {'what': {'footttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt': Timestamp('2011-01-01 00:00:00')}}, {'what': {'footttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt': Timestamp('2011-01-01 00:00:00')}}, {'what': {'footttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt': Timestamp('2011-01-01 00:00:00')}}], 'foo': 1}"

I think if we could define _Timestamp to actually use __slots__. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10401935/python-method-wrapper-type

but not really sure how cython does this.
