object-dumper

I'm trying (without luck) to implement an "Object Dumper" for objects I'm accessing in the Office Type Library. It must be possibly, because VS's debug window has a "dynamic view" for the System.__ComObject objects that effectively does what I want. Any ideas? I have also created a method for getting an interface that can be used for accessing the object. Use: using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes; You have to have an IDispatch interface in your code: [Guid("00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046"), ComImport(), InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType

Is there a Python module that can be used in the same way as Perl's Data::Dumper module? Edit: Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was mainly after a module for inspecting data rather than persisting. BTW Thanks for the answers. This is one awesome site! Data::Dumper has two main uses: data persistence and debugging/inspecting objects. As far as I know, there isn't anything that's going to work exactly the same as Data::Dumper. I use pickle for data persistence. I use pprint to visually inspect my objects / debug. I think the closest you will find is the pprint module. >>> l = [1, 2, 3, 4] >>

I'm looking for a class that can output an object and all its leaf values in a format similar to this: User - Name: Gordon - Age : 60 - WorkAddress - Street: 10 Downing Street - Town: London - Country: UK - HomeAddresses[0] ... - HomeAddresses[1] ... (Or a clearer format). This would be equivalent to: public class User { public string Name { get;set; } public int Age { get;set; } public Address WorkAddress { get;set; } public List<Address> HomeAddresses { get;set; } } public class Address { public string Street { get;set; } public string Town { get;set; } public string Country { get;set; } } A
