objects are printable in python if they provide a special method
__str__ (or __repr__) that generates a stringified representation of
self: http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/customization.html#l2h-182


  The 'Context' class derives from 'types.DictType', which provides
that, and as the derived class doesn't override it (adding its own
state) you only get to see the keys.
