As the OP said, it returns a *dictionary*. In particular:
>>> help(vars)
Help on built-in function vars:
vars(...)
vars([object]) -> dictionary
Without arguments, equivalent to locals().
With an argument, equivalent to object.__dict__.

You must be having a bad day ;-). From Lib Ref 2.1 Built-in Functions:
vars( [object])
Without arguments, return a dictionary corresponding to the current local
symbol table. With a module, class or class instance object as argument (or
anything else that has a __dict__ attribute), returns a dictionary
corresponding to the object's symbol table. The returned dictionary should
not be modified: the effects on the corresponding symbol table are
undefined
