Are you tired of trying to strain your eyes to parse something like this 
in the logs [1]?

vif=VIF({'profile': {}, 'ovs_interfaceid': 
u'ac3ca8e7-c22d-4f63-9620-ce031bf3eaac', 'preserve_on_delete': False, 
'network': Network({'bridge': u'br-int', 'subnets': [Subnet({'ips': 
[FixedIP({'meta': {}, 'version': 4, 'type': u'fixed', 'floating_ips': 
[], 'address': u'10.100.0.18'})], 'version': 4, 'meta': {u'dhcp_server': 
u'10.100.0.17'}, 'dns': [], 'routes': [], 'cidr': u'10.100.0.16/28', 
'gateway': IP({'meta': {}, 'version': None, 'type': u'gateway', 
'address': None})})], 'meta': {u'injected': False, u'tenant_id': 
u'1d760ac487e24e06add18dacefa221a1'}, 'id': 
u'b13e9828-2bd9-4fb4-a20d-a92e2a8c1a77', 'label': 
u'tempest-network-smoke--1979535575'}), 'devname': u'tapac3ca8e7-c2', 
'vnic_type': u'normal', 'qbh_params': None, 'meta': {}, 'details': 
{u'port_filter': True, u'ovs_hybrid_plug': True}, 'address': 
u'fa:16:3e:0c:d3:95', 'active': False, 'type': u'ovs', 'id': 
u'ac3ca8e7-c22d-4f63-9620-ce031bf3eaac', 'qbg_params': None}

I found https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ which is nice since 
you can just copy that json from the logs and paste it into the text 
area and format it (I disable validation).

Then I get something pretty like:

{
    'profile':{

    },
    'ovs_interfaceid':u'ac3ca8e7-c22d-4f63-9620-ce031bf3eaac',
    'preserve_on_delete':False,
    'network':Network(   {
       'bridge':u'br-int',
       'subnets':[
          Subnet(         {
             'ips':[
                FixedIP(               {
                   'meta':{

                   },
                   'version':4,
                   'type':u'fixed',
                   'floating_ips':[

                   ],
                   'address':u'10.100.0.18'
                }               )
             ],
             'version':4,
             'meta':{

             },
             'dns':[

             ],
             'routes':[

             ],
             'cidr':u'10.100.0.16/28',
             'gateway':IP(            {
                'meta':{

                },
                'version':None,
                'type':u'gateway',
                'address':None
             }            )
          }         )
       ],
       'meta':{
          u'injected':False,
          u'tenant_id':u'1d760ac487e24e06add18dacefa221a1'
       },
       'id':u'b13e9828-2bd9-4fb4-a20d-a92e2a8c1a77',
       'label':u'tempest-network-smoke--1979535575'
    }   ),
    'devname':u'tapac3ca8e7-c2',
    'vnic_type':u'normal',
    'qbh_params':None,
    'meta':{

    },
    'details':{
       u'port_filter':True,
       u'ovs_hybrid_plug':True
    },
    'address':   u'fa:16:3e:0   c:   d3:95   ', '   active':False,
    'type':u'ovs',
    'id':u'ac3ca8e7-c22d-4f63-9620-ce031bf3eaac',
    'qbg_params':None
}

Yay now I can actually read this!

Just FYI for anyone that's had the same issues.
