Okay that <Rep object at 0x....> is the representation of the object.
If you want to control how an object is represented when you put it in
a template you should define a __str__ method:
class Rep(db.model):
# Properties
...
# Representation
def __str__(self):
return "\n".join(self.replist)
Or however you want to object to appear. It may help to do a few
experiments outside GAE in the interactive interpreter.
