But I want an even simpler solution. I don't want the user to define
__pretty__. Is there a tool that can automatically print the content
of an object without defining such a member function like __pretty__.
Not tested (much):
from pprint import pprint
def examine(obj, limit=3):
truncated = dict()
for attr_name in dir(obj):
if attr_name.startswith(("__", "_%s__" % obj.__class__.__name__)):
continue # don't include "private" or special attributes
attr = getattr(obj, attr_name)
if callable(attr):
continue # don't include methods
if hasattr(attr, "__getitem__") and not isinstance(attr, str):
truncated[attr_name] = attr[:limit]
else:
truncated[attr_name] = attr
pprint(truncated)
It truncates sequences silently, which may or may not be what you want.

Ah, introspection. Is that a defined feature of Python or an implementation
quirk of CPython?
