I'm getting used to a little hack:

 >>> import pprint
 >>> p = pprint.pprint   # shorthand from pretty printer

For example,

 >>> p(globals())
{'__builtins__': <module '__builtin__' (built-in)>,
  '__doc__': None,
  '__name__': '__main__',
  'p': <function pprint at 014DDEFC>,
  'pprint': <module 'pprint' from 'f:\python21\lib\pprint.pyc'>,
  'pywin': <module 'pywin' from 'f:\python21\pythonwin\pywin\__init__.pyc'>}


It makes easy to get nicely formatted output.
