ob.data() is just a record which contains the object's parameters.  For a 
component object, it's a xorn.storage.Component instance which is the 
Python equivalent of the C struct xornsch_component:

     struct xornsch_component {
         struct xorn_double2d pos;
         bool selectable;
         int angle;
         bool mirror;
         struct xorn_pointer symbol;
     };

You can get a list of attributes by calling ob.attached_objects(), or you 
can use the high-level attribute functions from the module 
"xorn.geda.attrib" to query an attribute:

     >>> import xorn.geda.attrib
     >>> for ob in sch.toplevel_objects():
     ...     if isinstance(ob.data(), xorn.storage.Component):
     ...         print xorn.geda.attrib.search_attached(ob, 'refdes')
     ...
     ['U109']
     []
     ['U212']
     ['U211']
     ['U210']
     []
     []
     []

If you loaded the schematic including the symbols, you could use 
"search_all" instead of "search_attached" to search the inherited 
attributes, too:

     >>> xorn.geda.attrib.search_all(sch.toplevel_objects()[0], 'refdes')
     ['U109', 'U?']
