Is there a built-in function to print all the current properties and values of an object?

Question

So what I'm looking for here is something like PHP's print_r function. This is so I can debug my scripts by seeing what's the state of the object in question.

Answer 1

Yes, Python has a method that is used to print all current properties and values of an object which is  vars() mixed with pprint():

from pprint import pprint 

pprint(vars(your_object))
