something like:

   class A:
      def __init__(self, p1):
         self.p1 = p1

   class B: 
      def __init__(self,p1, p2):
         self.a = A(p1)
         self.p2 = p2
         self.v1 = '3'

   class C:
      def __init__(self):
         self.b = B(3,4)
         self.p3 = 5

   class D:
      def __init__(self):
         self.v2=2
         self.o1 = C()
         self.o2 = B(11,12)


   d = D()
   objectDataDumper(d)


would produce something like:

   object of class D with:
   o1(C)->b(B)->a(A)->p1=3
   o1(C)->b(B)->p2=4
   o1(C)->b(B)->v1=3
   o1(C)->p3=5
   o2(B)->a(A)->p1=11
   o2(B)->p2=12
   o2(B)->v1=3
   v2=2
