Umm , no I don't.
>>> s = os.stat(".")
>>> print s
posix.stat_result(st_mode=16877, st_ino=2278764L, st_dev=2053L, st_nlink=2, st_u
id=1000, st_gid=100, st_size=4096L, st_atime=1346327745, st_mtime=1346327754, st
_ctime=1346327754)
>>> type(s)
Which isn't terrible helpful.

If its a class , why is it when I create my own class I get a completely
different output with print and type?
>>>
>>> class foo(object):
.. def __init__(self):
.. pass
..
>>> f=foo()
>>> print f
<__main__.foo object at 0xb743956c>
>>> type(f)
