+/* These methods are used to control infinite recursion in repr, str, print,
+   etc.  Container objects that may recursively contain themselves,
+   e.g. builtin dictionaries and lists, should used Py_ReprEnter() and
+   Py_ReprLeave() to avoid infinite recursion.
+
+   Py_ReprEnter() returns 0 the first time it is called for a particular
+   object and 1 every time thereafter.  It returns -1 if an exception
+   occurred.  Py_ReprLeave() has no return value.
+
