asyncore question

[snoe]

Not 100% sure why print d gives None but if you need to print something
that represents the instance, use repr

>>> d.__str__
<method-wrapper object at 0x0098C450>
>>> str(d)
'None'
>>> repr(d)
'<asyncore.dispatcher at 0x8d5be8>'
>>> print repr(d)
<asyncore.dispatcher at 0x8d5be8>


Why isn't __str__ in dir?
>>> dir(d)
['__doc__', '__getattr__', '__init__', '__module__', '__repr__',
