在*上,有个兄弟问了这个问题:
首先定义一个类:
class Item():
def __init__(self,name):
self._name=name def __str__(self):
return "Item's name is :"+self._name
print((Item("Car"),))
返回的是:
C:\Python35\python.exe C:/fitme/work/nltk/1.py
(<__main__.Item object at 0x000001DC3F9BB390>,) Process finished with exit code 0
更改成这样的代码后:
class Item():
def __init__(self,name):
self._name=name
# def __str__(self):
# return "Item's name is :"+self._name def __repr__(self):
return "Item's name is :" + self._name print((Item("Car"),))
返回结果是:
C:\Python35\python.exe C:/fitme/work/nltk/1.py
(Item's name is :Car,) Process finished with exit code 0
有人解答如下:
1.对于一个object来说,__str__和__repr__都是返回对object的描述,只是,前一个的描述简短而友好,后一个的描述,更细节复杂一些。
2.对于有些数据类型,__repr__返回的是一个string,比如:str('hello') 返回的是'hello',而repr('hello')返回的是“‘hello’”
3.现在是重点了:
Some data types, like file objects, can't be converted to strings this way. The __repr__ methods of such objects usually return a string in angle brackets that includes the object's data type and memory address. User-defined classes also do this if you don't specifically define the __repr__ method. When you compute a value in the REPL, Python calls __repr__ to convert it into a string. When you use print, however, Python calls __str__. When you call print((Item("Car"),)), you're calling the __str__ method of the tuple class, which is the same as its __repr__ method. That method works by calling the __repr__ method of each item in the tuple, joining them together with commas (plus a trailing one for a one-item tuple), and surrounding the whole thing with parentheses. I'm not sure why the __str__ method of tuple doesn't call __str__ on its contents, but it doesn't.
print(('hello').__str__())
print(('hello').__repr__())
有一个更简单的例子如下:
from datetime import datetime as dt
print(dt.today().__str__())
print(dt.today().__repr__())
