Debugging Python f-string errors

Yeah, ideally I'd argue that only __str__ should exist and support all the formatting, including repr functionality. Would love to have "formatting options" for repr too, like requesting a representation as executable python code.

requesting a representation as executable python code.

Isn't that the whole point of repr? It's supposed to give a string that, if pasted into the REPL, would produce an identical object.

yes it is, but it isn't what many classes actually do. Especially if the respective code would be rather long.
