New submission from Guido van Rossum: In Python 3.6, the repr() of a class includes its memory address.
This is going to cause a lot of problems for tests in 3rd party code that expects the nice and clean <class '__main__.C'> instead of <class '__main__.C' at 0x7feb0360f568>. I understand the desire to provide more clarity in case somehow two class objects created at different times have the same name -- but I'm not sure I like to rub the hex address in the user's face all the time. Can we please roll this back or think about a better way to reveal this that won't break so many 3rd party tests? ---------- messages: 270251 nosy: gvanrossum priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Regression in repr() of class object versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27498> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
