Python Parse List

Question

I have a list, not dict, that contains information. When I simply do print my_list it yields:

[<Data_1: name=u'Name of A',id=101>,
<Data_2: name=u'Name of B',id=102>,
<Data_3: name=u'Name of C',id=103>,
...]

When I do for x in my_list: print x it yields:

Name of A
Name of B
Name of C
...

Clearly Python is parsing this somehow but how would I extract both the name and id portions of each element? If this was in a dict, I would do my_list.iteritems but I am a little stuck on how to do this with just a normal list.

Thanks

<Data_1: name=u'Name of A',id=101> definitely a queryset. So x.name and x.id should work. — Tanveer Alam

Incidentally, your two pieces of code produce different output because printing an object directly invokes its __str__ method, whereas printing a list containing objects invokes their __repr__ methods. — Kevin

Solution to your question would be:

for x in my_list: print x.name, x.id
