Comment (by nbruin):
`str` is more for human consumption, so if you have to choose to handle
something via a string, `repr` is the better one to go for:
{{{
sage: str(k*x)
' f x'
sage: repr(k*x)
'f*x'
}}}
or with format strings:
{{{
sage: "%r"%(k*x)
'f*x'
sage: "%s"%(k*x)
' f x'
}}}
The len doesn't come i, by the way:
{{{
sage: def tt(*args): return len(args)
sage: tt(k*x)
1
}}}
I'd say `%r` is the better one to go for.
