The inventory list can be just
for a in self.inventory:
print a.name
You can access object attributes from outside the object, they are public.

Yes, modern practice is to have your classes inherit from object, e.g.
class Room(object):
>>> def move(self,direction):
>>> if self.location.exits.has_key(direction):
>>> self.location = self.location.exits[direction]
>>> print self.location.name
>>> else: print 'alas, you cannot go that way'
>>> def dig(self,direction):
>>> lcoords = list(self.location.coords)

Yes, I understand the intent, but I think you can use self.location.coords
everywhere you are now using lcoords - the conversion to list is not needed.

That sounds like a good idea. But still you can create ncoords directly as
shown above.
