I haven't used a proprinter since our XL24E died. Never used an
antiprinter, myself.

Here's how to make print() output the repr() of something:

_ORIG_PRINT = print
def print(*args, **kw):
    return _ORIG_PRINT(*(repr(arg) for arg in args), **kw)

But what's the point?

(Also: Have fun backporting that to 2.5, it won't be easy.)
