repr of circular graphs of collections.OrderedDicts fails with 'RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object'.

>>> from collections import OrderedDict
>>> left, right = OrderedDict(), OrderedDict()
>>> left['other'] = right
>>> right['other'] = left
>>> left
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  ...
  File "lib/python2.7/collections.py", line 137, in __repr__
    return '%s(%r)' % (self.__class__.__name__, self.items())
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in __subclasscheck__
