Improve `Inventory.__repr__` (and `DataObjXyz.__repr__`?) completeness
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Per the Python docs, if possible __repr__()
should provide a representation that can be used to recreate the object. Right now, I'm pretty sure it doesn't do this for either Inventory
or the SuperDataObj
subtypes.
Describe the solution you'd like
Revise the __repr__
output suitably. Instantiation of each type is probably straightforward enough that this would be feasible, and relatively readable.
A __repr__
for Inventory
with all object details is obviously not feasible, due to the massive output it would generate. Thus, SourceType.Manual
instances, as well as those created directly from strings, would just not have a recreation-usable __repr__
. It should be possible with the other source types.... though the Inventory
data model might have to be revised in order to store the source location (file path or URL).
