repr could be legitimate python

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Your __repr__ is ok, but it would be even more convenient if it emitted
real python code. In this case, it seems like that would be easy to do:

now:
In [6]: a = ipaddr.IPv4('10.1.0.1')

In [7]: repr(a)
Out[7]: '<ipaddr.IPv4: 10.1.0.1/32>'

better:
In [7]: repr(a)
Out[7]: "IPv4('10.1.0.1/32')"

The python result is less ambiguous and easier to paste into an interactive
python console for some debugging. E.g. if I print the repr of a dict of
addresses->hostnames, it would be cool if I could paste that whole result
into another python file for testing.
