如何将class类型转换为字符串python SDK

Question

I have this code that prints information related to VM . The output is in the class type . How can I convert it to a form so that I can understand it?

 from azure.common.credentials import ServicePrincipalCredentials
 from azure.mgmt.compute import ComputeManagementClient
    
 credential = ServicePrincipalCredentials(client_id='XXXX',
                                          secret='XXXX', tenant='XXXX')
 compute_client = ComputeManagementClient(
     credential, 'XXXX')
 for vm in compute_client.virtual_machines.list_all():
     print(vm.storage_profile)

I am getting output in the form. It is showing the class type of this output

<'azure.mgmt.compute.v2019_03_01.models.storage_profile_py3.StorageProfile'>

It was printing class type because you are directly calling the variable without converting it. To do that You can create a new variable and assign the conversion to it and print that new variable. Or you can use directly in print statement as below,

Which is suggested by @ baileythegreen as well,Thank you for your valuable insights posting the same in answer to help other community members.

CODE:

from azure.common.credentials import ServicePrincipalCredentials
from azure.mgmt.compute import ComputeManagementClient
    
 credential = ServicePrincipalCredentials(client_id='XXXX',
                                          secret='XXXX', tenant='XXXX')
 compute_client = ComputeManagementClient(
     credential, 'XXXX')
 for vm in compute_client.virtual_machines.list_all():
     print(vm.storage_profile.as_dict())
