When debugging in PHP, I frequently find it useful to simply stick a var_dump() in my code to show me what a variable is, what its value is, and the same for anything that it contains.
What is a good Python equivalent for this?

var_dump() displays values along with data types as output. print_r() displays only value as output. It does not have any return type. It will return a value that is in string format.
It's too simple. The var_dump() function displays structured information about variables/expressions including its type and value. Whereas The print_r() displays information about a variable in a way that's readable by humans. Example: Say we have got the following array and we want to display its contents.
The var_dump() function is used to dump information about a variable. This function displays structured information such as type and value of the given variable. Arrays and objects are explored recursively with values indented to show structure.
I think the best equivalent to PHP's var_dump($foo, $bar) is combine print with vars:
print vars(foo),vars(bar) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
