title: What is a Python equivalent of PHP's var_dump()?
body: <p>When debugging in PHP, I frequently find it useful to simply stick a <a href="http://php.net/var-dump" rel="noreferrer">var_dump()</a> in my code to show me what a variable is, what its value is, and the same for anything that it contains.</p>
  
  <p>What is a good Python equivalent for this?</p>
