I do have some understanding of the pythonic methodology of
programming, though by far I still don't consider myself an expert.
The problem at hand is that I am coming from a matlab world and trying
to drag my coworkers with me. I have gotten a lot of them excited
about using python for this work, but the biggest gripe everytime is
they want their matlab ide. I am trying to experiment with making
similar pieces of the ide, in particular I am working on the workspace
window which lists all the current variables in the namespace, along
with their type, size, value, etc.... I am trying to create a python
equivalent. I can get dir to list all the variables names in a list
of strings, but I am trying to get more info them. hence the desire
to do a type command on them. I like the locals and globals commands,
but I am still trying to get more info. I have started using the eval
command with the strings, which is working, but I am curious if there
is a better or more elegant way of getting the info. The eval example
would be something like:
a = 5
b = 2.0
c = 'c'
lst = dir()
for el in lst:
print el + '\t' + str(eval('type(%s)'%el))
It works, now I am curious if there is a better way.
What about this:
for name, obj in vars().iteritems():
print name, obj
