The bellowing python source block ~:results value pp~ does not print pprint formated result as
expected. I tested with =$ emacs -q= confirmed this problem.

  #+begin_src python :results value pp
  dic = {'key1': 1, 'b': 2}
  dic
  #+end_src
  
  #+RESULTS[(2021-12-29 10:51:14) b1011bfee8a1636204f73e13367d3b6d2cb6a36e]:
  : None

For non-session Python blocks, you need to use "return" on the value, as
if you are in a function.

The following works for me:

#+begin_src python :results value pp
  dic = {'key1': 1, 'b': 2}
  return dic
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: {'b': 2, 'key1': 1}

Thanks Jack. Confirmed works. This might need to mentioned in Org manual and in ob-python.el source
code with comment. WDYT?

Hi Christopher,

The main documentation for this is in the Worg page for ob-python, in
particular see the section "Return values":

https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-python.html

I think that is the appropriate place to put this sort of documentation
(i.e. usage of specific babel languages). However, the clarity of this
documentation could be improved; contributions on that would be very
welcome.

In addition, this is also mentioned in the Org manual on return values
in Org babel, "Results of Evaluation":

    For languages like Python, an explicit ‘return’ statement is
    mandatory when using ‘:results value’.
