Raymond Hettinger added the comment: IIRC, deque() did this to better match the behavior of list(). Not everything in Python is consistent and sometimes we have to pick and choose between what we want to be consistent with. For the most part, the decisions have worked out well in practice (deque.__repr__ hasn't seemed to bother anyone in its dozen year history).
