Description

Hi! I noticed that there is no string representation of the generated mdfreaderobject:

yop = mdfreader.mdf(file) print(yop)

results in TypeError: __str__ returned non-string (type list)

I also tried just yop without print(). Results in no output.

mdf (mdfreader.py) inherits of mdf3,mdf4 (mdf3reader.py,mdf4reader.py), which itself inherits from mdf_skeleton (mdf.py) that includes str when I use ipython, I can get a print of yop. However, I could reproduce your issue with print(yop). str ouput nested list. ipython print does not complain but print() gives same error as yours -> I corrected in dev branch, should be fixed for you. You can customise according to your needs str, do not hesitate to propose modifications.

I tested the latest dev branch, looks fine now. Problem solved, thanks!
