Help on built-in function vars in module __builtin__:
vars(...)
vars([object]) -> dictionary
Without arguments, equivalent to locals().
With an argument, equivalent to object.__dict__.
Meh, that's what I get for trying to make sense of
http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#vars
-- which implies the above, but isn't explicit about
it -- rather than using help. In particular, the docs
for locals talk about the inclusion of free variables
in functions, which is absent for vars, which might
imply that there is a difference.
I believe the 'free var' stuff is a doc error, so I filed
http://bugs.python.org/issue6925
Doc for locals and vars
