What does the python interactive console output?

Question

When I import the datetime module for example, and create a datetime.datetime object, thus that this datetime.datetime object is the value of the expression, it returns

datetime.datetime(*values inserted*)

But this is not the _str__() return value of datetime.datetime.

How is the output of the interactive console defined to behave? Is there a specification or comprehensible explanation?

Answer 1

It shows the value of __repr__().
