Message302502
Specifically this message, where the unwritten rationale is to offer behavioural consistency across the builtin types that know their own name and include it in their current repr() output: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2011-October/012464.html
As per Guido's comment and the discussion of PEP 3155 above, the idea now is that for classes/functions/methods, we make it so that:
repr(x) -> gives both the type and the qualified name (as now)
str(x) -> gives just the qualified name
Importantly, this *won't* change the result of printing full namespaces, since the dict repr calls repr() on values, not str(). |
