maybe this is a print odds

[pipehappy]

I come this code:

Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win
32
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>class He(object):

.... def __str__(self):
.... return "He"
....

>>hes = [He(),He(),He()]
>>print hes

[<__main__.He object at 0x00BE92D0>, <__main__.He object at
0x00BE9370>, <__main
__.He object at 0x00BE93B0>] # I expect output: [He,He,He]

>>print hes[0]

He

>>>

Do anyone know trick to overcome this or python has some proposal to
extend print that can do iterately print? I just want to get the way of
print which I my guess. Thanks a lot!

Lists print their items via repr(), not str():

>>class Ho(object):

.... def __str__(self):
.... return "That's a bit early, don't you think?"
.... def __repr__(self):
.... return "Ho"
....

>>print [Ho()] * 3

[Ho, Ho, Ho]

>>print Ho()

That's a bit early, don't you think?
