Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:

I think this is a bit misleading. These functions are only needed if you are 
implementing a container. For the general case where you don't display another 
Python object in your repr() (or you only display objects which are themselves 
atomic, such as strings and integers), these functions are not necessary.
