Ah right.  Then  '%s' % (x,) .

So far the rtyper has no notion of the "repr" of an object being
something else than its "str", so str([x]) is really the same as '[' +
str(x) + ']'.  All this stuff would need clean-ups before we go more in
the direction of fully supporting custom __str__() methods...


A bientot,

Armin.
