[issue10661] ElementTree QName has a very uninformative repr()

[Jean-Paul Calderone]

New submission from Jean-Paul Calderone inva...@example.invalid:

This is somewhat unfortunate behavior:

 from xml.etree.ElementTree import QName
 QName('foo')
xml.etree.ElementTree.QName instance at 0x10049c830
 

It becomes even more apparent when encountered in a situation like this:

 print {QName('foo'): 'bar', QName('baz'): 'quux'}
{xml.etree.ElementTree.QName instance at 0x10049cb90: 'bar', 
xml.etree.ElementTree.QName instance at 0x10049c248: 'quux'}
 

I would like to see QName.__repr__ return something like 'QName %r' % (text,)

[Eric Smith]

Eric Smith e...@trueblade.com added the comment:

This should be either:
'QName %r' % (self.text,)
or:
'QName {!r}'.format(self.text)

If self.text is a tuple (which granted is its own error), then the version 
checked in will raise an exception.

Granted.  Since the rest of the file uses old-style format, I've kept to it, 
r87148.
