Hi, everyone!
Oftenly, __repr__ return "{type}({args}, {kws})"
problem:
1) to call .format() myself is tedious
I have seen someone do it wrong: "T(1,)"!
I write a helper function myself,
but to import such tiny function everywhere isnot good.
2) pprint cannot dive into string that from repr()
To use pprint, I sometimes have to recursively
turn objects into builtin containers:
(type_name, args...)
solution:
allow __repr__ to return
str
OR tuple: (args, kws)
Better, isn't it?
