Example:

import fire

assert fire.__version__ == "0.3.1"

def f():
    return {"_id": 123, "x": 5}

fire.Fire(f)

I guess this has to do with hiding private object attributes from the user?
But it would be nice if one could disable this behavior somehow.

If you add -- --verbose or -- -v to your command, then the hidden attributes will be included.

Great, thanks for the tip!
Do you think it would make sense to offer a way to enable such an option per default for certain functions?

For example:

import fire


def f():
    return {"_id": 12, "a": 2}

def g():
    return {"_id": 12, "a": 2}


fire.Fire(options={"f": {"verbose": True}, "g": {"verbose": False}))

This way, calling f would print the full dictionary, whereas calling g would only print "a: 2".
