Benjamin Peterson added the comment: This is no different than this simpler case:
class A: def __init__(self, name): print("init {!r}".format(self)) self.name = name def __repr__(self): return "I am {}".format(self.name) The instance of A doesn't not have a name attribute for __repr__ to use until you set it. ---------- nosy: +benjamin.peterson resolution: -> not a bug status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28316> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
