Message 388795 - Python tracker
FWIW, we've not had a feature request for this ever, nor has there been a request for pprint to support attrs, nor any other hand-rolled class that implements methods similar to those generated by dataclasses. AFAICT, this tracker issue wasn't motivated by a known use case; rather, it was "my PR was accepted for SimpleNamespace and thought dataclasses could be the next." In the absence of known use cases and user requests, I think we should let it be. Put me down for a -0.
