R. David Murray added the comment: You are correct. Effectively every class has an __str__, and that is what gets called when you print something without specifying any other formatting. (I say effectively, because if there is no __str__ the __repr__ gets used, which every class *does* have via inheritance from the base object 'object'.)
For what it is worth, I just gave David Beasly's "Python Essential Reference" to someone who is a relatively new Python programmer but an experienced programmer, and he loved it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17139> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
