> I don't know why we would ever have a space in a typename, ever (and if someone does awful hacks to get to that state, he should probably also do awful hacks to make reprlib work properly).

That part of the code has been added 22 years ago: https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/a0d4c5ef1d5d#l9.22 So probably the reason is that the code is just old. 

Thanks for the patch, Chris!
