-   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.
