[issue22836] Broken "Exception ignored in:" message on exceptions in __repr__

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

This may be a part of more general issue. Should repr() fail at all? Wouldn't be better to fall back to the default __repr__ instead? repr() is typically used for debugging. Failing repr() can be a part of larger __repr__, thus raising an exception in subobject's repr() leads to the loss of information about full object.
