"""This module defines the :class:`NiceRepr` mixin class, which defines a
``__repr__`` and ``__str__`` method that only depend on a custom ``__nice__``
method, which you must define. This means you only have to overload one
function instead of two. Furthermore, if the object defines a ``__len__``
method, then the ``__nice__`` method defaults to something sensible, otherwise
it is treated as abstract and raises ``NotImplementedError``.
To use simply have your object inherit from :class:`NiceRepr`
(multi-inheritance should be ok).
This code was copied from the ubelt library: https://github.com/Erotemic/ubelt
Example:
>>> # Objects that define __nice__ have a default __str__ and __repr__
>>> class Student(NiceRepr):
... def __init__(self, name):
... self.name = name
... def __nice__(self):
... return self.name
>>> s1 = Student('Alice')
>>> s2 = Student('Bob')
>>> print(f's1 = {s1}')
>>> print(f's2 = {s2}')
s1 = <Student(Alice)>
s2 = <Student(Bob)>
Example:
>>> # Objects that define __len__ have a default __nice__
>>> class Group(NiceRepr):
... def __init__(self, data):
... self.data = data
... def __len__(self):
... return len(self.data)
>>> g = Group([1, 2, 3])
>>> print(f'g = {g}')
g = <Group(3)>

class NiceRepr(object):
"""Inherit from this class and define ``__nice__`` to "nicely" print your
objects.
Defines ``__str__`` and ``__repr__`` in terms of ``__nice__`` function
Classes that inherit from :class:`NiceRepr` should redefine ``__nice__``.
If the inheriting class has a ``__len__``, method then the default
``__nice__`` method will return its length.
Example:
>>> class Foo(NiceRepr):
... def __nice__(self):
... return 'info'
>>> foo = Foo()
>>> assert str(foo) == '<Foo(info)>'
>>> assert repr(foo).startswith('<Foo(info) at ')
Example:
>>> class Bar(NiceRepr):
... pass
>>> bar = Bar()
>>> import pytest
>>> with pytest.warns(None) as record:
>>> assert 'object at' in str(bar)
>>> assert 'object at' in repr(bar)
Example:
>>> class Baz(NiceRepr):
... def __len__(self):
... return 5
>>> baz = Baz()
>>> assert str(baz) == '<Baz(5)>'
