Thanks Mark, yes you installed the right package. OK I didn't dig deep enough in the sub class. And yea, there shouldn't be any difference between float.__repr__ and float.__str__. Obviously repr calls the object's tp_repr method, while float.__repr__ calls the base float method, which is the one we want. I didn't do any testing for python 3.x as I couldn't figure out how to import dbus into a local build of 3.x. My mistake here. > For 2.7, we may want to consider processing float instances using `float.__repr__` instead of plain old `repr` That should work! I'll upload a new patch for 2.7
