+0... I would say 'swap str and repr', because str(xrange) does what
repr(xrange) should do, and the other way 'round:

>>> x = xrange(1000)
>>> repr(x)
(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,
... ... ... 
... 998, 999)

>>> str(x)
'(xrange(0, 1000, 1) * 1)'

But I don't really care either way.
