.. index:: builtin: repr
Called by the :func:`repr` built-in function and by string conversions (reverse
quotes) to compute the "official" string representation of an object. If at all
possible, this should look like a valid Python expression that could be used to
recreate an object with the same value (given an appropriate environment). If
this is not possible, a string of the form ``<...some useful description...>``
should be returned. The return value must be a string object. If a class
defines :meth:`__repr__` but not :meth:`__str__`, then :meth:`__repr__` is also
used when an "informal" string representation of instances of that class is
required.

This is typically used for debugging, so it is important that the representation
is information-rich and unambiguous.
