Perform action when instance name is invoked in IDLE

Question

So let's say you have something like this:

Class Person:
    height = """6' 0"""

and

Henry = Person

What do I have to define in the class to do Henry and get '6' 0"' and not something like <class __main__.Person 0x00012040>?

Answer 1

First, you need to instantiate the class.

Henry = Person()

Then, you need to define the __repr__() method.

Class Person:
    def __repr__(self):
        return self.height

And finally, you need to make it an instance attribute, not a class attribute.

Class Person:
    def __init__(self):
        self.height = "6' 0\""
