In code working with instances of packaging.database.Distribution, it’s bothersome to have to use '%r %s' % (dist.name, dist.version) all the time. It is also not good-looking in 2.x, where we get u'name'. I think it would be best to implement a __str__ method on the class and just use %s everywhere, for example in pysetup list and pysetup search. More sophisticated clients that want to display projects in a GUI can still access dist.name, dist.version and other attributes.
I’ve insisted on using %r for project names and paths to avoid ambiguities with trailing spaces and such hard-to-catch things. For logging output, we have to pass pure strings, but for direct console printing we could use ANSI escape sequences to display projects’ names in bold for example. |
