@Serhiy Storchaka, this doesn't seem logical, is certainly counter intuitive, and I fear there is a lack of expressivity. - first of all, this is NOT about having str and repr returning the same at all, but about building the same _kind of_ structure representations for str and repr, but with str of sub elements in __str__, and with repr of sub elements in __repr__. It is not logical at all and completely counter intuitive, if you explicitely ask str of the superclass, to get repr of the subclass. Getting repr of the superclass would be logical, but not repr of the subclass. Now, it might happen that I missed another way to write what I tried (casting the object to it's super class with super(), to avoid explicitly naming the superclass) but if there is not, we then have something lacking in terms of expressivity. ---------- resolution: not a bug -> status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35174> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
