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!
