First, you could assign records[-1] to a variable, like this

foo = records[-1]
print foo.flags, foo.list1, foo.list2

Another way would be to implement __repr__ on record:

class record:
  .... # the old stuff
  __repr__(self):
    return repr((self.flags, self.list1, self.list2))

Then 

print records[-1]
The __repr__ method is automagically called when print is used on an object.
