Thanks, _PyObject_Dump sounds like just the ticket.  Most of the time, the 
VS2010 debugger can just run functions willie nillie and thing should simply 
work.

I'd like to stress Benjamin's recommendation. Dave Malcolm's gdb
extensions (requires gdb with Python support) are really powerful; they
will automatically render PyObject* by displaying the actual logical
value (and not just for strings).

Failing that, I use _PyObject_Dump to display strings; this requires a
debugger that can call functions in the debuggee (like gdb).

Martin
