In most cases the base class __repr__ just calls _repr_, and the
notebook and/or Ipython no nothing about this -- they always call
__repr__ (or __str__).
def __repr__(self):
if hasattr(self, '__custom_name'):
name = self.__custom_name
if name is not None:
return name
if hasattr(self, '_repr_'):
return self._repr_()
return str(type(self))
