Take a look at
http://lists.canonical.org/pipermail/kragen-hacks/2002-January/000291.html
--- it's an HTML version of repr() called htmlstr().  It generates
CSS-skinnable HTML that renders builtin types much more nicely than
the builtin repr() or str() do, using tables to make things wrap
nicely.

There's also HTMLRepr from pydoc.
