[Zope] Is there a way to look at the "raw" data making up an object in the ZODB?

Open up zope from the command prompt and look at the object and use dir 
to introspect it:

$ /var/zope/bin/zopectl debug
Starting debugger (the name "app" is bound to the top-level Zope object)
 >>> app.objectIds()
['acl_users', 'Control_Panel', 'temp_folder', 'browser_id_manager', 
'session_data_manager', 'error_log', 'index_html', 
'standard_error_message', 'standard_html_footer', 
'standard_html_header', 'standard_template.pt', 'Plone', 'alter', 
'ZChecker']
 >>> dir(app.Plone)
['COPY', 'COPY__roles__', 'DELETE', 'DELETE__roles__', 'HEAD', 
'HEAD__roles__', 'LOCK', 'LOCK__roles__', 'MKCOL', 'MOVE', 
'MOVE__roles__', 'OPTIONS', 'OPTIONS__roles__', 'PROPFIND', 
'PROPFIND__roles__', 'PROPPATCH', 'PROPPATCH__roles__', 'PUT', 
'REQUEST', 'TRACE', 'TRACE__roles__', 'UNLOCK', 'UNLOCK__roles__', 
'__ac_permissions__', '__allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects__', 
'__basicnew__',
