  def __repr__(self):
    return 'In %s::__repr__' % self.__class__.__name__

You already know the function is called __repr__ so you don't need to look 
it up anywhere. If you really wanted to do it the hard way:

import inspect
...
  def __repr__(self):
    return 'In %s::%s' % (self.__class__.__name__,
        inspect.getframeinfo(inspect.currentframe()).function)

but just repeating __repr__ explicitly is less typing.
