Скачать или смотреть Python object representation (__str__ vs __repr__ dunder methods and dataclasses)

As per our Pybites tip: the goal of _repr_ is to be unambiguous and _str_ is to be readable.

Or as Ned Batchelder succinctly said: "__repr__ is for developers, _str_ is for customers."

In this video we show you a nice example of the Standard Library; a datetime.date object.

We also show how you need to add both dunder / special methods to a class of our own, because it will enhance debugging.

Lastly, we show you how dataclasses already generate them for you. For more on dataclasses, check out out our video here:    • Exploring Python dataclasses
