Thanks for the feedback Ricardo. Unfortunately one of the biggest lessons I learned from this experience is what a pain it is to try to write a book with code samples—especially if they're Python! Including images was one possibility we discussed, though it unfortunately has other issues of its own. I'll make sure to pass your feedback on to the publisher though.
As for your specific question, this part of Chapter 5 has you define a method outside the class and then reassign the class's __repr__ attribute to point to this method, also outside the class's definition. (While you would not often do this in practice, it is a handy feature of the interactive interpreter that prevents us from having to re-print the entire class definition with each modification). Although your spacing doesn't come across for me in your email, the issue looks like you are assigning the new method to a __rep__ attribute, instead of __repr__, which is the attribute it should be overwriting.
