Hi Alexander, Thanks for the code - I will look into it I just read a few lines of your MatrixFormatter class seeing the definition of __repr__.
Here is a thought: Is it possible that I overload the __repr__ of float (that is: the buildin data type) !?
Nope. You can't screw around with methods of builtins -- and this is a (quite sensible) conscious design decision.
When I use pyCrust it automatically "fills in" default arguments like, func(a=0.1000000000001) So, this probably does not call the sys.displayhook - so __repr__ itself would need to be changed.
Nope, whatever pycrust uses needs to be changed (are you *sure* changing sys.displayhook has no effect on pycrust (it might not change what it "fills in", but what about actual output?) because that would seem sort of ... suboptimal. Even so it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out how you can customize printing in pycrust (by having a look at the pycrust code and/or reading the manual or asking on the appropriate mailing-list).
Do you know if that is possible ? (It would recursively fix all list and matrix display problems I had ...)
It wouldn't, it would just get you the float and list (tuple etc.) display you want (arrays/matrices don't call repr on each individual array arguments to compute their overall repr). HTH, 'as
