implement a __str__ method. For example: $ python Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Jun 13 2010, 14:03:16) [GCC 4.4.4 (CRUX)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> class Foo(object): ... def __str__(self): ... return "<Foo>" ... >>> foo = Foo() >>> foo <__main__.Foo object at 0x83d796c> >>> str(foo) '<Foo>' >>> cheers James -- -- James Mills -- -- "Problems are solved by method" _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
