I am starting to develop a plugin for Qgis using python, which i am very new at, and would like to view some results of variables by displaying a message in QGIS. How can I do this?

Isn't Plugins->Python_console enough for you? – SS_Rebelious Oct 24 '12 at 8:28
The Python console isn't really meant for that. – Nathan W Oct 24 '12 at 8:53

Do you mean you want to show a message box with some values. – Nathan W Oct 24 '12 at 8:53

some_variable = feature.geometry()   

QMessageBox.information(None, "DEBUG:", str(some_variable))

Another good option is the message log.

QgsMessageLog.logMessage("message")
