There is no problem having __repr__ and __str__ do the same thing. Sage breaks the conventions that __repr__ is a string from which the object can be reconstructed due to the complexity of the objects in Sage. If you do sage: a Then, the ipython interpreter will call the __repr__ method to display the object a. --Mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
