You might have more luck asking for help if you explained what Perl's
Data::Dumper actually does, instead of expecting people to either just
know, or to go and look it up.

In particular, what functionality of Data::Dumper is it you are
looking for?

For a user friendly representation of a python data structure, look at
pprint:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-pprint.html

For a string representing a data structure that can be eval'd to get
the structure back again, look at the built-in repr()
