I have a class with todo's (text and id) and import that class in my main program where I want to print it.

classtodo.py:

class ToDo:
    def __init__(self, todo_id, todo_text):
        self.todo_id = todo_id
        self.todo_text = todo_text

    def __str__(self):
        return "{}:{}".format(self.todo_id, self.todo_text)

main.py:

import classtodo
todos =[]
#Funktion ToDos Anlegen
def todos_new():
    todo_id = 1
    todo_text = "text1"
    new = classtodo.ToDo(todo_id, todo_text)
    todos.append(new)

def todos_print():
    print(str(todos))

todos_new()
todos_print()

The output I get is

Output:
[<classtodo.ToDo object at 0x1040611d0>]

- any idea what I'm doing wrong? I actually want to get the id (1) and the text (text1). I use Python 3.7. Thanks!

When you print a list, python prints the repr() of the list items instead of their str(). You can do this

print([str(x) for x in todos])

Okay. Thanks a lot!
