I guess the objects stored in the list have a __repr__-method overloaded
that produces the text you see. 

What you should do is to install rlcompleter2, fire up a python prompt and
write code that produces a list of your objects. Then you can play around
with the objects and utilize the reflection capabilities of python, which
are conveniently exposed using rlcompleter2.

Another option is to look into the source of that module and identify the
objects created. Documentation is overrated - use the source, Luke!
