__repr__(self)
. In
Sage, that is for objects that derive from SageObject
(which
is everything in Sage), instead define _repr_(self)
. This is
preferable because if you only define _repr_(self)
and not
__repr__(self)
, then users can rename your object to print
however they like.
Here is an example of the _latex_
and _repr_
functions
for the Pi class. It is from the file
SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/sage/functions/constants.py
%skip class Pi(Constant): """ The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. EXAMPLES: sage: pi pi sage: float(pi) 3.1415926535897931 """ ... def _repr_(self): return "pi" def _latex_(self): return "\\pi"
