563.28.2 Subclassing Repr Objects
57</H2>
58
59<P>
60The use of dynamic dispatching by <tt class="method">Repr.repr1()</tt> allows
61subclasses of <tt class="class">Repr</tt> to add support for additional built-in
62object types or to modify the handling of types already supported.
63This example shows how special support for file objects could be
64added:
65
66<P>
67<div class="verbatim"><pre>
68import repr
69import sys
70
71class MyRepr(repr.Repr):
72 def repr_file(self, obj, level):
73 if obj.name in ['&lt;stdin&gt;', '&lt;stdout&gt;', '&lt;stderr&gt;']:
74 return obj.name
75 else:
76 return `obj`
77
78aRepr = MyRepr()
79print aRepr.repr(sys.stdin) # prints '&lt;stdin&gt;'
