[issue13592] repr(regex) doesn't include actual regex

[Adam Bartoš]

Adam Bartoš added the comment:

Isn't the trucation of long patterns too rough? Currently, repr(re.compile("a" * 1000)) returns something like "re.compile('aaaaaaaaaaaaa)", i.e. no ending quote and no indication that something was truncated (besides the missing quote). It looked like a bug to me at first sight.
