I could see us fixing that but I wouldn't think it's a high priority
unless someone finds implementing ICodeFormattable burdensome.

Thanks, that did the trick (sample attached below)! It isn't burdensome, but I wonder about what will happen when we use IronRuby, too? We'll we need repr methods for each language?

I also wonder if things like a generic list couldn't pick up a reasonable default __repr__ for use in all DLR languages.

We're using the .NET languages in an educational environment for new students. Currently, we're going to have to add the __repr__ to all classes, and add subclasses to all types for which there isn't a reasonable repr default. For example, there is a pretty big difference between: "[255, 255, 128]" and "<List<GraphicsCore+Pixel> object at 0x000002C [List<GraphicsCore+Pixel>]>" or whatever it might be.

In any event, we have a work around now; thanks again!

__str__ use?

Anyone have an answer for this: I can't write C# code that has its
own method for use in repr(). Am I missing something?

i don't know, but would guess ToString() .. and wonder about it
if it wasn't that but something else :o repr() can't guess, i
don't think there's an equivalent in .net, but can very well be
mistaken there.
It looks like the C# method __str__ is used for the Python method,
but in IP2B2 the C# method __repr__ is getting overwritten by an
auto generated method. Is that a bug, or is there something I'm
missing?

$ ipy2 -i python/graphics.py
pm = Pixmap() pm.getPixel(0,0)                    # What is
this calling?
<Pixel object at 0x2B>
pm.getPixel(0,0).__repr__()         # This is repr() too
'<GraphicsCore+Pixel object at 0x2C [GraphicsCore+Pixel]>'
pm.getPixel(0,0).__Repr__()         # This is mine
'<Pixel at (0,0)>'
pm.getPixel(0,0).__str__()          # That is mine, and str()

'<Pixel at (0,0)>'
pm.getPixel(0,0).ToString()         # Used by __repr__
'GraphicsCore+Pixel'
