Help on built-in function repr in module builtins:
repr(obj, /)
Return the canonical string representation of the object.
For many object types, including most builtins, eval(repr(obj)) == obj.
Question: What does the forward slash represent in this context? If I type:
py3: repr(int, /)
File "<stdin>", line 1
repr(int, /)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
whereas:
py3: repr(int)
"<class 'int'>"
appears to be correct.
