I want a callable, ready-to-use class or function.
Inspect provides soime funtions that would be useful for wrinting
such a class or function, but does not provide one.
I seems that nobody who has written or used such a tool reads
this group, or feels like responding.
FWIW, (for anyone looking for something similar in the future)
I found http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/137951
which will format and print an object's attributes. By combining that
and pprint in the Python distrib, I think can coble up what I am
looking
for.
Still, it is discouraging that such a basic thing is not provided with
python, or at lleast easily available in some library.
