Overload print

[Ross Williamson]

Hi All

Is there anyway in a class to overload the print function?

Gives:

<__main__.foo_class instance at ....>

Can I do something like:

Gives:

hello

I'm looking at finding nice way to print variables in a class just by
asking to print it

Cheers

Ross

Are you talking about overriding print(), kind of like overloading the
<< operator in c++ so that you can determine how the foo_class gets
printed?
