It cannot. The string returned by repr is supposed to be unique. In C Python, it just happens to be the object's memory address that's used to make this string unique. > In short, how do I used <Object at Memory Address> strings to > recreate a an object. Not at all :) Objects that can't be recreated using their __repr__ information just provide an unique identifier string if you call repr on them, no more and no less.
