The following line in UserArray.py is responsible for this rubbish:

    def __repr__(self):
	return self.name+str(self.array)[5:] #Hack, will break if repr for array changes

As the comment says, this has broken... As an immediate replacement,
I suggest:

    def __repr__(self):
	return self.name + '\n' + str(self.array)

This will print "Matrix" and the data starting from the next line.
In the long run, someone should think about (and implement) a nicer
way to print matrices to make them look distinct from arrays, e.g.
a border around it or whatever.

Konrad.
