repr() for various objects doesn't convert data members correctly.

                 Key: MODPYTHON-189
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-189
             Project: mod_python
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 3.2.10, 3.3
            Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
            Priority: Minor


The repr() methods of various objects, eg., tableobject, use code like:

            PyString_ConcatAndDel(&s, PyString_FromString("'"));
            PyString_ConcatAndDel(&s, PyString_FromString(elts[i].key));
            PyString_ConcatAndDel(&s, PyString_FromString("': '"));
            PyString_ConcatAndDel(&s, PyString_FromString(elts[i].val));
            PyString_ConcatAndDel(&s, PyString_FromString("'"));

to construct the string. This doesn't though consider that values could have 
quotes in them.

Instead of outputting quotes and string in between, should use something like:

               t = PyString_FromString(elts[i].val);
               PyString_ConcatAndDel(&s, PyObject_Repr(t));
               Py_XDECREF(t);

Ie., let the repr() routine of the string to quote as appropriate.

Since the repr() outputs of these objects are only used for debugging and can't 
be used to reconstruct objects, not too big a deal, but should be addressed.
