I am not sure I follow. The 'to_string' text was just to show where the 
output appeared.

Commenting out the function produced:

(gdb) p the_semaphore->Object.id
$4 = AttributeError: object_id_printer instance has no attribute 'to_string'
  = {
   id = 436273170,
   node = 1,
   api = classic,
   class = semaphores,
   index = 18
}

Trying:

     def to_string(self):
         return None

and

     def to_string(self):
         pass

gave:

(gdb) p the_semaphore->Object.id
$5 = TypeError: Could not convert Python object: None
  = {
   id = 436273170,
   node = 1,
   api = classic,
   class = semaphores,
   index = 18
}
