I want to overload print statement for my own class. For example, I have my class named Character_Dict and defined as below:

class Character_Dict(object):
    def __init__(self, key_length):
        self.char_dict = {}
        self.ASCII_dict = {}
        self.key_length = key_length
        self.dictionary = self.char_dict
        self.current_character = ''

For the need of example we have an object named char_dict_object, which is an instance of Character_Dict class.

How can I change print statement to get my self.current_character printed by using print char_dict_object? Thanks in advance for your responses!

where is `char_dict_object`? – Padraic Cunningham Jun 08 '14 at 15:11
@PadraicCunningham Somewhere out of `Character_Dict` class, in my "main" function. Does the location of it change anything? – honkingForMoreSleeptime Jun 08 '14 at 15:22
I was just asking as it is a bit unclear what you are trying to do. It is an instance of Character_Dict? – Padraic Cunningham Jun 08 '14 at 15:29
Yes, it is :). I will edit question to mark it there :) When my program would be finished I can post link to GitHub repository if you are curious. – honkingForMoreSleeptime Jun 08 '14 at 15:45
