Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: This can break third-party code. For example the code that explicitly makes the repr containing a subclass name:
class MyStr(str): def __repr__(self): return 'MyStr(%s)' % str.__repr__(self) I think the chance of breaking third-party code for bytearray or deque is smaller, since the repr is not literal. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27541> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
