[ZODB-Dev] ExtensionClass.__str__ and __repr__

[Christian Reis]

Though not strictly ZODB-ish, I ran into the following oddity with
ExtensionClass (that bleeds into Persistent): __str__ doesn't work as
for normal classes.

    >>> from ZODB import Persistent
    >>> class Foo(Persistent): pass
    ... 
    >>> class Bar: pass
    ... 

    >>> repr(Bar)
    '<class __main__.Bar at 0x811fe5c>'
    >>> str(Bar)
    '__main__.Bar'

    >>> repr(Foo)
    '<extension class __main__.Foo at 8142870>'
    >>> str(Foo)
    '<extension class __main__.Foo at 8142870>'

Is it a bug, and if I provide a patch, would it be accepted?

Take care,
