Negative. If this were added, why not to_yaml, to_marshal, to_pickle, to_zip, and so on. Better to have each storage or transfer class handle its own instance creation. The one to_x method that every class should have is to_string, which is spelled __str__ and inherited from object. -- Terry Jan Reedy
