Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.

NOTE: this is my first PR for https://github.com/python/cpython, so please tell me if I need to do something else, e.g. does this need an entry added somewhere under Misc/NEWS.d?

Yes please, and also sign the CLA.

@hugovk, Misc/NEWS.d is a directory, so I don't know which file(s) in there to edit, especially since it looks like the versions in there have all been released. Do I need to create a new file (or files if it's going to both 3.13.2 and to a 3.14.0a)?

UPDATE: it looks like these are the instructions for which file I should create: https://devguide.python.org/core-developers/committing/#how-to-add-a-news-entry. I think _pyrepr is part of the standard library, right?

I tried signing the CLA, but the SIGN IN WITH GITHUB TO AGREE button doesn't work with the @users.noreply.github.com email address I use for my commits. I submitted a manual CLA, so hopefully that will work. FYI, this is the error I get when I try to use https://cpython-clabot.herokuapp.com/contributor-license-agreement?state=...:

Yes, that's right, the Lib dir is the stdlib.

@hugovk, thank you for that suggested doc change, which I approved. Is there anything else I need to do, or do we now just need to wait for someone else (e.g. @pablogsal, @lysnikolaou, or @ambv) to review the code changes?

Thanks for the updates. Yes, someone with Windows will need to review, hopefully it shouldn't be too long :)

Thanks @paulie4 for the PR, and @encukou for merging it 🌮🎉.. I'm working now to backport this PR to: 3.13.
