Python Tutor: multiline string representation of custom objects

[pdawyndt]

Object of user-defined classes that implement a string representation function (str or repr) have this string representation used in the rendering of the object. However, newlines are replaced by spacrs and leading/trailing whitespace characters are stripped from this string representation. This gives an unnatural look to objects with a multiline string representation with leading/trailing whitespace. For example, an object with a string representation that looks like

  # . .
 # # # #
# # # # #
 . # # #
  . . #

is now rendered as

# . . # # # # # # # # # . # # # . . #

Would be more natural to show the original (multiline) string representation for the object.

Use a monospace font for this representation, as proper alignment is often key with these string representations.
