I always think that google colab just print (by default the end edgy var) the var in the last line but came with this unexpect output that is different from print() function. Anyone can explain why this happens?

Pretty printing is enabled by default. The pretty print for classes and types seems to be determined by _type_pprint() and you can see that it can be the module and name:

p.text(mod + '.' + name)

You can toggle pretty printing on/off using the %pprint line magic. Example with the outputs as comments:

class Foo:
  pass

print(Foo)

# <class '__main__.Foo'>

Foo

# __main__.Foo

%pprint

# Pretty printing has been turned OFF

Foo

# <class '__main__.Foo'>

With the pretty printing off the output seems to be the same as the __repr__.
