Changing the repr() of a class?

[Donald McCarthy]

Thanks Alex and thanks to all who discussed my problem. I am honoured to
participate in such a group.

The 'Alex solution' worked but it does lead on to another problem -
Reference material!

I bought 'Learning Python' by Mark Lutz, First Edition. Read it when I
bought it a couple of years back, but I usually get by with the online
documentation that comes with python.

With all the changes in Python since then I need a new reference work. Would
anyone recommend a  book that includes info on metaclasses?

Thanks again,

 Donald 'Paddy' McCarthy.
