I have no problem with living on the bleeding edge. But I realized why repr wasn't working so well for me: In a nutshell, I need to get the Python function call string that was made (including arguments), for logging purposes. The functions are in my C# code, the calls are made from Python. I can get the name of the function through some means, but the arguments are the part I've having a hard time with. I can make the assumption that the arguments being passed into the function have a textual representation. So, if I have a function in C# like: void MyFunc( IEnumerable<int> someList ) { string someListAsStr = SomeMagicFunction(someList); Log( someListAsStr ); } and in Python I call it like: a = [0,1,2] MyFunc( a ) I want to log the string "[0,1,2]" repr wasn't working for me, I believe, because once I get inside MyFunc, IronPython has wrapped and converted the PythonList into this IEnumerable<int> I have. So, repr was giving me something not so pretty. Will the new Format function give me what I want? Or should I continue down a different path?
