Assuming those survived the switch to 3.0, you can use site.py und
sys.displayhook to customize to the old behaviour (i.e. change it to a
version using ascii instead of repr). Since this only affects
interactive use, it's also no problem for portability of code, unlike
"solutions" like forcing the

As I said, it's a trade-off. The alternative, if it was the default,
wouldn't be optimal at the interactive prompt for some other
configurations.
In particular, users of non-la

It's a trade-off. It should also be legible.

But shouldn't the production of an object's representation via repr be
a "safe" operation? That is, the operation should always produce a

It was intended behavior, and still is in 3.0.
