There is no "hook" in the package file structure where you can customize the repr. It is built into the module type. Once loaded, packages are just a module object like any other module. If you want to change the repr() of modules, you will need to change the built-in ModuleType class. But I can tell you that this will 99.999999% be rejected. And if it is accepted, I can tell you that the first time you get hit by a massive wall of text from a package docstring in an exception or some other use of repr(), you will likely regret the change. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/QZBY2XMQHPFXWX56RURGOZGXJBUSCGR2/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
