Robert Collins added the comment: @Chris - I don't like the idea of making new classes on the fly like that, it seems more likely to provoke bugs (as type(case) != SomeSpecificClass) anymore after that, vs just not relying on __str__ directly.
Going back to Michael's proposal of short description, long description and repr (with str == repr) for debugging. - that is missing id(), and id() is IMO definitely still needed. I was proposing id(), friendlyId(), shortDescription(), and __str__ calls friendlyId(), and __repr__ is a regular <...> repr. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16288> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
