how do you print an object?

[Rene Veerman]

hi.

i'm a recent convert from php because google appengine runs python.
i have a whole cms backend to convert (also to bigtable, but thats
another story) to python now.

the first item on my agenda is the printing of python objects to json objects.
i have this nifty xhtml dataviewer (htmlMicroscope, see the downloads
page in my signature) that accepts json objects for display in the
browser. i also have an xhtml error viewer, logAndHandler, that does
sort of the same.
i want to use both of these with python, and i will promise to release
the python sources for hm() and lah() as well.

so my question is simple: how do you go from python object to json
representation of that object, preferably keeping everything including
function code in the json output?

i'll have many more questions, if i decide to convert my cms backend to python.
but it seems i'm without option on this

side question: anybody know a cloud hosting service that does php? i
really have a ton of code already
