Original report:
Samuele Pedroni points out in python-dev that the ... style reprs of Python
objects are
not documented, standardized or even consistent (e.g. compare old-style and
new-style
classes).
Yet there is plenty of code out there
Guido van Rossum gu...@python.org added the comment:
I think there's nothing to be done for a bug this general.
If you find a specific object whose repr() is awkward, go ahead and file a
specific bug.
In most cases I think people who parse repr() output know they are on thin ice,

labeled easy. (At least the writing the unit tests part. Making
... reprs consistent is another story.)
The unit tests for old-style and new-style class reprs are
Guido van Rossum [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment:

Alexander Belopolsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment:
I think the attached patch captures the most of what can currently be
said about ... reprs.
