Examples

Example #1:

from var_dump import var_dump

var_dump(123) 					# output: #0 int(123)
var_dump(123.44) 				# output: #0 float(123.44)
var_dump("this is a string") 	# output: #0 str(16) "this is a string"
var_dump(None) # output: 		# output: #0 NoneType(None)
var_dump(True) # output 		# output: #0 bool(True)

Example #2:

you can pass more than one argument:

from var_dump import var_dump

var_dump(123, 123.44, None, False)

Output:

#0 int(123) 
#1 float(123.44) 
#2 NoneType(None) 
#3 bool(False)

Example #3:

from var_dump import var_dump

class Base(object):

    def __init__(self):
        self.baseProp = (33, 44)
		self.fl = 44.33

class Bar(object):

    def __init__(self):
        self.barProp = "I'm from Bar class"
		self.boo = True


class Foo(Base):

    def __init__(self):
        super(Foo, self).__init__()
        self.someList = ['foo', 'goo']
        self.someTuple = (33, (23, 44), 55)
        self.anOb = Bar()
		self.no = None

foo = Foo()
var_dump(foo)

Output

#0 object(Foo) (6)
    baseProp => tuple(2) 
        [0] => int(33) 
        [1] => int(44) 
    someTuple => tuple(3) 
        [0] => int(33) 
        [1] => tuple(2) 
            [0] => int(23) 
            [1] => int(44) 
        [2] => int(55) 
    no => NoneType(None) 
    someList => list(2) 
        [0] => str(3) "foo"
        [1] => str(3) "goo"
    fl => float(44.33) 
    anOb => object(Bar) (2)
        boo => bool(True) 
        barProp => str(18) "I'm from Bar class"
