The repr is the model for how we enter things by hand. If the repr is set([1,2,3]), the that's how we will learn to type them into our programs. It's not the eval(repr(s)) round trip that's at issue, it is a question of the preferred way to write code. > From an understandability POV, set({...}) is simpler than set([...]) I'm at a loss for words to explain the reasons for my strong aversion to the syntax. All I can say is that I think it's a mistake and hope you let me switch back to the Py2.6 way.
