The equivalent to Java's toString() is __str__() in Python: class TestOutcomes: PASSED = 0 FAILED = 1 ABORTED = 2 def __init__(self,outcome): self.outcome = outcome def __str__(self): if self.outcome == TestOutcomes.PASSED: return "Passed" elif self.outcome == TestOutcomes.FAILED : return "Failed" else: return "Aborted" if __name__ == "__main__": testResult = TestOutcomes(TestOutcomes.ABORTED) print testResult testResult = TestOutcomes(TestOutcomes.FAILED) a = testResult.__str__() print a Aborted Failed -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
