Difference between __str__ and __repr__?

Question

What is the difference between `__str__` and `__repr__` in `Python`?

Answer 1

__str__ should return a user readable string representing the object.

__repr__ should return a machine readable string that can be used to completely recreate the object instance in memory. While this may be user readable for simple classes it can be cumbersome for a user to understand for complex classes.
