So if __str__ is "meant for human eyes", then why isn't print using it!it is:> print x str but dict just uses repr() for all its childs to print. T.That makes no sense to me. If I call 'print' on a container, why wouldn't it recursively print on the contained objects? Since print means call str, printing a container should recursively call str on the objects.
Every class is free on how to best implement __str__, you will find the same behavior on tuple and list as well. Maybe its discussable to change the implementation sensibly, best if you would come with a proposal? Perhaps pprint.pprint is a starting point? Regards Tino
