Close, but no cigar:

>>> repr(x, y, ('spam', 'eggs')) 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: repr() takes exactly one argument (3 given)

>>> repr((x, y, ('spam', 'eggs')))
"(32.5, 40000, ('spam', 'eggs'))"

This is what Fred meant in his 'it needs an additional set of parentheses'
comment to the patch.
