AFAIK you have to roll your own. Here is a very rudimentary example: C:\junk>type dumpobj.py class MixDump(object): def dump(self): print "Dump of", self.__class__.__name__, 'instance' for attr, value in sorted(self.__dict__.iteritems()): print attr, repr(value) class T(MixDump): def __init__(self): self.x=1 self.y=2 self.obj = list() def amethod(self): pass class U(MixDump): def __init__(self): self.f = 'foo' self.yorick = 'y' self.bananas = None t = T() t.dump() u = U() u.dump() C:\junk>dumpobj.py Dump of T instance obj [] x 1 y 2 Dump of U instance bananas None f 'foo' yorick 'y' HTH, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
