listobj(obj)[source]

Print wrapper function for listobj_str() method of obj.

listobj() is designed to be used in scripting environments where detailed, textual output is supported. It is a wrapper to a call of listobj_str on obj.

Classes may implement the listobj_str method that returns a string containing a formatted description of the object. Multi-line strings are allowed; each line should end with a newline character. Examples include DecenterData.listobj_str() and EvenPolynomial.listobj_str().
