now print(text) returns something like:

 <matplotlib.text.Text at 0x7f7d0cfdf0f0>

suggestion: return the _text property in __repr__()

  • Matplotlib version, Python version and Platform (Windows, OSX, Linux ...)
{'dirty': False,
 'error': None,
 'full-revisionid': 'c0728d23ca5adbff6b79cda3153d0d36bff12c55',
 'version': '1.5.1+1304.gc0728d2'}

Python3.4
Ubuntu 14

  • How did you install Matplotlib and Python (pip, anaconda, from source ...)

    pip from git

Closing this issue as the new behavior since #6068 is

from matplotlib.text import Text

txt = Text(0, 0, 'Here comes the text!')
print(txt) # returns "Text(0,0,u'Here comes the text!')"

which somehow addresses the problem.

Feel free to reopen this issue if the original idea of doing

from matplotlib.text import Text
Text.__str__ = lambda self: self._text

txt = Text(0, 0, 'Here comes the text!')
print(txt) # returns "Here comes the text!"

is really the wished behavior.
