Solutions to computer problems that were in my way.
This article shows how to put a few lines of python code into your python script so you can tell how long the script has been running, or how long a certain part of the task took to run.

This articles covers how I was able to get the managed attributes from an object, and then get the public and managed attributes from an object. There used to be an __members__ method, but that has been depreciated according to http://docs.python.org/lib/specialattrs.html. Really, I hope there is a better way to do this, but I can’t seem to find it (let me know).
Quick Answer (for managed attributes only):
class dumb:
def dummy():
pass
def attributes(o):
print "object:", o
print "Initialized attribute values:"
step=0
for var in dir(o):
vartype=-1
exec("vartype = type(o."+str(var)+")")
if not(var in o.__dict__) and not(vartype == type( dumb.dummy)) and not("__" == var[:2]):
value = -30
exec("value = o."+str(dir(o)[step]))
print '%40s' % var +": "+ str(value)
step += 1
