Maybe a little bug of ipython 0.7.3 ?

[fdu.xiaojf]

I'm new to ipython, and i found it a very cool product.

*Please note that there is an extra "0" after "**26 <...>", which

This 0 is the last digit of `980`. If the string form is very long the
string itself is shortened by leaving out the middle part. It's
irrelevant which object it was before the conversion to a string.
