Making a list-inhereted object return standard repr?

[Philip Swartzleonard]

    	Ok, so i decided to make my container class inherit from list, 
considering that that's basically what it is. Now i've run into a problem 
where my self_parent exception is being raised for whatever reason, and the 
first thing i try is sticking a 'print self, assigend' sort of statement at 
the beginning of the function. The problem is, instead of getting something 
like '<__main__.mapcell instance at 0xf00fee>', i get '[]'. I want to 
change __repr__ and __str__ to do something more like the first case again 
(possible with an added 'containing [...]' element), but the only 
information i can find to build it out of is what's available from id() and 
type(), ... i can't find something that lets me mimic the first part of the 
message (id is useful, type isn't). 

    	Thanks.
