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'
