Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com> added the comment: Since the appearance of reprs is not guaranteed. I don't think this should be documented (because doing so makes it a guaranteed behavior). In fact, the appearance has changed over time from ... to [...] in and may change at some point to <...> so that it can't be confused with an actual Ellipsis object. At best this should be a FAQ entry or we can defer to behaviors that are documented and guaranteed (such as reprlib.recursive_repr() and its default fillvalue).
I concur with David Murray that the Ellipsis object should be indexed and cross-referenced. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue9842> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
