 This module provides a class, an instance, and a function:
 
 
-.. class:: Repr()
+.. class:: Repr(*, maxlevel=6, maxtuple=6, maxlist=6, maxarray=5, maxdict=4, \
+                maxset=6, maxfrozenset=6, maxdeque=6, maxstring=30, maxlong=40, \
+                maxother=30, fillvalue="...")
 
    Class which provides formatting services useful in implementing functions
    similar to the built-in :func:`repr`; size limits for  different object types
    are added to avoid the generation of representations which are excessively long.
 
+   The keyword arguments of the constructor can be used as a shortcut to set the
+   attributes of the :class:`Repr` instance. Which means that the following
+   initialization::
+
+      aRepr = reprlib.Repr(maxlevel=3)
+
+   Is equivalent to::
+
+      aRepr = reprlib.Repr()
+      aRepr.maxlevel = 3
+
+   See section `Repr Objects`_ for more information about :class:`Repr`
+   attributes.
+
+   .. versionchanged:: 3.12
+      Allow attributes to be set via keyword arguments.
+
 
 .. data:: aRepr
