Hmm. Maybe this should be a recipe in the docs, or something: "how to
make a repr that reconstructs an object".
def describe(obj, attrs):
attrs = [f"{a}={getattr(obj, a)!r}" for a in attrs]
return f"{type(obj).__name__}({", ".join(attrs)})"
def __repr__(self):
return describe(self, "name age spam ham location".split())
This comes up often enough that I think it'd be a useful thing to
point people to.
reprlib would seem to be the place for this, if it's not already there.
