When calling str() on a sequence or dict object, the elements of the sequence/dict will be represented as if their __repr__ method was called. Why is this? Wouldn't it be more consistent when calling str() on sequence to use the __str__ method of the elements in the sequence?
As it is now, I often find myself typing something like: print map(str, alist) instead of just print str(alist) For dicts, it's more eleborate still. Is there a better way to deal with this? Rick. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
