There is no tpstr handler, so str(xrange(...)) is the same as repr(xrange(...)). I propose ripping out the tpprint handler completely. (And I've already tested my patch. ;) Comments?

+0... I would say 'swap str and repr', because str(xrange) does what repr(xrange) should do, and the other way 'round:

x = xrange(1000) repr(x) (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... ... ... ... 998, 999)

str(x) '(xrange(0, 1000, 1) * 1)'

But I don't really care either way.
