Sure, save the __init__ parameters explicitly in a dict.

self.data = {"Name": name,
             "WTN":  WTN,
             "Ag":   Ag,
             ... 
            }

To display them, you can iterate through the dict:

print "Data for Earth:"
for field, content in self.data.items():
    print "%s = %r" % field, content

Hope that helps.
