Are you talking about the class itself, or instances of the class? If the latter, I'm not sure I like that idea. Very often I write thing like 'print "foo =", foo' as debugging statements, relying on the fact that str(foo) will give me a repr, since it doesn't have a __str__ of its own. If that changes, I'll have to print repr(foo) or "%r" % foo a lot more often instead, which would be tedious. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
