I write __repr__() methods similar but I think a bit more readable:
def __repr__(self):
return "%s(%r, %r, %r, %r)" % (self.__class__.__name__, self.name,
self.age, self.friends, self.comment)
And it's robust against changing the class name. It even works in
subclasses if the signature of the __init__() method stays the same.
