What does the str() function do in Python Object Oriented Programming?
The __str__ method
__str__ is a special method, like __init__, that returns a 'informal' string representation of an object. It is useful in debugging.
Consider the following code that uses the __str__ method
class Time: def __str__(self): return '%.2d:%.2d:%.2d' % (self.hour, self.minute, self.second)
When we print an object, Python invokes the str method −
>>> time = Time(7, 36) >>> print time 07:36:00
