`myObject.__dict__` will give you a dict representation of the object's fields and their values, if that's what you're after. It depends entirely on what you mean be "concisely" and what object you're talking about. – Dec 05 '17 at 16:31

1Well-written objects will implement `__repr__` in a nice way as to provide the caller with good information when they call `repr(o)`. – Jonathon Reinhart Dec 05 '17 at 16:32

Pandas has a [describe function](https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/basics.html#summarizing-data-describe), similar to summary() in R – erocoar Dec 05 '17 at 16:37

@erocoar Does `numpy` has something to pandas' `describe()` function? – user1424739 Dec 11 '17 at 06:42
