It cannot. The string returned by repr is supposed to be unique. In
C Python, it just happens to be the object's memory address that's
used to make this string unique.

Not at all :) Objects that can't be recreated using their __repr__
information just provide an unique identifier string if you call
repr on them, no more and no less.
