print would actually like to do it if you told it how to do it.
print actually does it, but takes a default implementation if
you do not override __repr__ or __str__.

Define a __repr__ or __str__ method for the class:
class t:
def __init__(self):
self.x=1
self.y=2
self.obj = SomeOtherObj()
def __repr__(self):
s = "<class> %s\n x,%d\n y,%d\n obj,<class %s>" \
% (self.__class__, self.x, self.y, self.obj.__class__)
return s
a_t = t()
print "a t obj: %s" % (a_t)
a t obj: <class> __main__.t
x,1
y,2
obj,<class __main__.SomeOtherObj>
