[PATCH] __repr__ for instances of Ticket, Attachment, WikiPage etc

Description

When working with tracebacks generated by Trac it's often useful to know which ticket/wiki page or milestone was instantiated in a particular variable. However it's not obvious from a repr such as <Ticket 0xabcdef> what that is.

Attached is a patch that replaces the repr() of model-like classes with one close to that of a Resource e.g. WikiPage u'StartPage@5'>.

The test_repr failed with PostgreSQL and MySQL.

Any thoughts on this guideline for the __repr__ method?:

If at all possible, this should look like a valid Python expression that could be used to recreate an object with the same value (given an appropriate environment).

For the case of Environment, we could use something like:

return '%s(%r)' % (self.__class__.__name__, self.path)

Rather than <Environment u'/path/to/env'> we'd see Environment(u'/path/to/env'), or we could leave the angled brackets: < Environment(u'/path/to/env') >.

Replying to rjollos:

I'll leave this as a possible future change, pending feedback.

Fixed test failures from comment:5 and committed to trunk in [13503].

On Windows this test fails:

FAIL: test_repr (trac.tests.config.ConfigurationTestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "d:\code\trac\trunk\trac\tests\config.py", line 52, in test_repr
    repr(config))
AssertionError: "<Configuration 'c:\\users\\peter\\appdata\\local\\temp\\trac-test.ini'>" != "<Configuration 'c:\\\\users\\\\peter\\\\appdata\\\\local\\\\temp\\
\\trac-test.ini'>"

It seems '%s' % filename and '%r' % filename behave differently with e.g. the backslash path separators
