Renamed __pretty__ to _repr_pretty_ and changed updated pretty.py

* Throughout the codebase, __pretty__ has been changed to
  _repr_pretty_ to match general convention for special method
  names.
* The logic in pretty.py now matches that in formatters.py in that
  formatters that are callables are tried first and then special
  methods are used.

        :attr:`print_method`. If is does, that object is passed to that method

     pretty
     ~~
 
     Python advanced pretty printer.  This pretty printer is intended to
     replace the old `pprint` python module which does not allow developers
     to provide their own pretty print callbacks.
 
     This module is based on ruby's `prettyprint.rb` library by `Tanaka Akira`.
 
 
     Example Usage
     =============
 
     To directly print the representation of an object use `pprint`::
 
         from pretty import pprint
         pprint(complex_object)
 
     To get a string of the output use `pretty`::
 
         from pretty import pretty
         string = pretty(complex_object)
 
 
     Extending
     =========
 
     The pretty library allows developers to add pretty printing rules for their
     own objects.  This process is straightforward.  All you have to do is to
-    add a `__pretty__` method to your object and call the methods on the
+    add a `_repr_pretty_` method to your object and call the methods on the
     pretty printer passed::
 
         class MyObject(object):
 
-            def __pretty__(self, p, cycle):
+            def _repr_pretty_(self, p, cycle):
                 ...
 
     Depending on the python version you want to support you have two
     possibilities.  The following list shows the python 2.5 version and the
     compatibility one.
 
 
-    Here the example implementation of a `__pretty__` method for a list
+    Here the example implementation of a `_repr_pretty_` method for a list
     subclass for python 2.5 and higher (python 2.5 requires the with statement
     __future__ import)::
 
         class MyList(list):
 
-            def __pretty__(self, p, cycle):
+            def _repr_pretty_(self, p, cycle):
                 if cycle:
                     p.text('MyList(...)')
                 else:
                     with p.group(8, 'MyList([', '])'):
                         for idx, item in enumerate(self):
                             if idx:
                                 p.text(',')
                                 p.breakable()
                             p.pretty(item)
 
     The `cycle` parameter is `True` if pretty detected a cycle.  You *have* to
     react to that or the result is an infinite loop.  `p.text()` just adds
     non breaking text to the output, `p.breakable()` either adds a whitespace
     or breaks here.  If you pass it an argument it's used instead of the
     default space.  `p.pretty` prettyprints another object using the pretty print
     method.
 
     The first parameter to the `group` function specifies the extra indentation
     of the next line.  In this example the next item will either be not
     breaked (if the items are short enough) or aligned with the right edge of
     the opening bracked of `MyList`.
 
     If you want to support python 2.4 and lower you can use this code::
 
         class MyList(list):
 
-            def __pretty__(self, p, cycle):
+            def _repr_pretty_(self, p, cycle):
                 if cycle:
                     p.text('MyList(...)')
                 else:
                     p.begin_group(8, 'MyList([')
                     for idx, item in enumerate(self):
                         if idx:
                             p.text(',')
                             p.breakable()
                         p.pretty(item)
                     p.end_group(8, '])')
 
     If you just want to indent something you can use the group function
     without open / close parameters.  Under python 2.5 you can also use this
     code::
 
         with p.indent(2):
             ...
 
     Or under python2.4 you might want to modify ``p.indentation`` by hand but
     this is rather ugly.
