Provide more-meaningful __repr__ or __str__ for conditions

[offby1]

I spend a lot of time looking at my service's logs, and seeing messages like this:

2017-07-26T07:33:00.182089Z PID:(18030) boto3.resources.action [INFO] Calling dynamodb:query with {'Limit': 200, 'KeyConditionExpression': <boto3.dynamodb.conditions.Equals object at 0x7ffe0a29fa20>, 'TableName':  ...

It'd be really nice to see something meaningful in that log message, like Key("foo").eq("bar") -- i.e., the name of the key, and the value, instead of <boto3.dynamodb.conditions.Equals object at 0x7ffe0a29fa20>, which tells me almost nothing. I haven't found a way to do this from "outside" of boto, so perhaps you could add this as a feature.

Seems reasonable to me. Marking as a feature request.

How does this go 4 years without a fix?

Thank you all for checking in and sorry for the delay on this.

We created a backlog item to look into this feature request and if anyone wants to share additional use cases or feedback then please feel free to leave a comment. Although we can't give a definite timeline, I'll make sure to keep it posted as soon as I hear anything else and please feel free to check back here in the future.

The boto3 team has recently announced that the Resource interface has entered a feature freeze and won’t be accepting new changes at this time: https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/resources.html. We’ll be closing existing feature requests, such as this issue, to avoid any confusion on current implementation status. We do appreciate your feedback and will ensure it’s considered in future feature decisions.

We’d like to highlight that all existing code using resources is supported and will continue to work in Boto3. No action is needed from users of the library.
