I have a `Point` class (a code snippet):\r\n\r\n    public Point(double x, double y)\r\n    {\r\n    \tthis.x = x;\r\n    \tthis.y = y;\r\n    }\r\n    \r\n    public override string ToString()\r\n    {\r\n    \treturn $\"Point({x}, {y})\";\r\n    }\r\n\r\nWhen I work with this class library in Python (in Python shell):\r\n\r\n    \u003e\u003e\u003e p1 = Point(10,15)\r\n    \u003e\u003e\u003e p1\r\n    \u003cGeometry.Point object at 0x000000000558F828\u003e\r\n    \u003e\u003e\u003e str(p1)\r\n    'Point(10, 15)'\r\n\r\nBecause I override the `ToString()`, when I run `str(p1)` I see my custom view of the object. However, when I just access a variable `p1`, then it goes to the `__repr__()` method under the hood which gives me ugly `\u003cGeometry.Point object at 0x000000000558F828\u003e`.\r\n\r\nIs there a method in C# class that is possible to override so that `pythonnet` would use that method when getting the `__repr__`?\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/AlexArcPy","@type":"Person","name":"AlexArcPy"},"datePublished":"2018-06-03T09:40:54.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":10},"url":"https://github.com/680/pythonnet/issues/680"}
